Luminance and Color Meter CS-200
Introducing the Luminance and Color Meter CS-200, a high-accuracy device designed to measure luminance and chromaticity. This low-cost yet powerful meter is perfect for anyone looking for easy-to-use light measurement equipment.
The new auto mode of the CS-200 makes it easy to determine measurement speed according to the luminance of the light sources/displays you want to measure. Additionally, the CS-200 is capable of providing accurate luminance readings ranging from 0.01 cd/m2 up to 20,000,000 cd/m2. Plus, with its selectable angle feature, you can optimize your measurement angle at 1°, 0.2°, or 0.1° based on the application.
The CS-200 is not only powerful in its functionality, but it is also incredibly convenient and portable. With its lightweight design and battery-operated operation, you can use it anywhere, whether you’re conducting measurements on location or in a controlled environment. The CS-200 comes bundled with the CS-S10w software specifically designed to streamline your workflow and maximize productivity. This software allows you to effortlessly manage measurement data while also providing the convenience of storing and saving up to 101 measurement values and 20 reference values.

#1 23°C±2C Lv = 0.01-10 cd/m2, SLOW, average of 30 measurements Lv = 10 cd/m2 and higher, SLOW, average of 10 measurements
#2 At 0.2°measuring angle, the amount of received light is approx. 1/25 of that for 1°.
Therefore, the repeatability becomes the same as that for 1°with 25 times lower luminance.
At 0.1°measuring angle, the amount of received light is approx. 1/100 of that for 1°.
Therefore, the repeatability becomes the same as that for 1°with 100 times lower luminance.
