What parameters can a portable colorimeter test?
A portable colorimeter has the ability to examine a wide range of characteristics that are associated with the color and quality of light sources. The following is a list of common parameters that may be measured by a portable colorimeter: Coordinates of chromaticity The chromaticity coordinates provide a description of the color of a light source based on the hue and saturation of the light. The color temperature and color rendering index of a light source may be calculated by using the chromaticity coordinates if the light source is known. Temperature of color: The temperature of color is a measurement that is used to determine the hue of a light source and is given in kelvins (K). It reveals whether the color of the light coming from a source is warm (yellow/orange) or cool (blue). Index of color rendering (CRI): The color rendering index is a measurement of how well a light source reproduces the colors of objects in comparison to a light source that is used as a reference.
