Key Features
- Employs SSI (Spectral Similarity Index)
- Measures Virtually any Kind of Light
- Range: 0.09-18,600 fc (1-200,000 lux)
- Color Temperature Range of 1600-40,000K
Intended for photographers, videographers, cinematographers, and gaffers, the SPECTROMETER C-800 from Sekonic is an advanced field meter capable of reading virtually all light sources whether they're LED, flash, incandescent, HMI, fluorescent, or in the natural light spectrum. Most importantly, it's a practical lighting tool that analyzes the light source using 11 different display modes on its 4.3" color touchscreen, indicating specifically what you need to do to achieve your desired effect. The meter's CMOS sensor enables measurement in increments as fine as 1nm and allows capture of color spikes in the light output - an especially valuable function when working with LED, HMI, fluorescent lighting, and mixed sources.

In what increments will it display measured lux? Eg: 0-1999lx rounded to 1s place. 2000-19,990 to the 10s place etc. (Not range)
The Sekonic SPECTROMETER C-800 displays lux to the single digits. For example 2161 is a lux reading that it may show.

Is this meter also a light meter measuring incident and spot?
The main function of this meter is to measure color, but it can also provide readings in foot candles.

Is there an "R" version like the C-700R that can trigger flash via radio slave or does it ONLY have a PC cord terminal?
The Sekonic SPECTROMETER C-800 can only be connected to a flash using the PC synch terminal. This unit is not designed to work with wireless modules to trigger flashes.

What is its Lux Resolution?
What is its Lux Resolution?
Not the range but the resolution. For example: "0 to 1999 (1 lux resolution), 2000 to 19,990 (10 lux resolution), and 20,000 to 50,000 (100 lux resolution)". Meaning the number will round to the nearest 100 at values between 20k and 50k lux. This is a lux resolution of 100.

As an event video shooter our most challeging task is to record in uncontrolled light situations with multiple cameras and make them cut nicely in edit... with this meter will it allow us to know the most precise overall Kelvin temp of several ambient lights in a room and any magenta/green necessary adjustments? We have used grey cards but the cameras have crazy readings when we use the white balance setting based on those? specially yellow/green painted rooms and vivid green nature backgrounds...
This color meter can give you exact information based on the color of the light. Depending on where and how you meter relative to other lights you can get a combined reading or a reading per light. Color meters are more accurate than gray cards for setting white balance.

To calibrate digital cinema projectors I need a color meter that reads reflected light: is there a spot attachment for the C-800?
Most projectionists I've seen on live events over the years put the color meter in the path of the beam to measure color output of the projectors with a calibration image.

Since this is a Color Meter only, do you know of a model that has both an exposure and color meter functionality in one small device? I think both the C-800 and C-700 series are color meter alone. I need both in one unit and in a rugged body unlike Lumu and other attachments.
I'm sorry, no, there isn't a color meter & exposure meter in one.
