Gravity: Factory Calibrated Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) & ALS Meter for Professional Photography

The Gravity: Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) & ALS Meter is a high-performance light sensing device, precisely calibrated to offer accurate measurements of correlated color temperature and illuminance intensity. Whether capturing photos at sunrise or videos in a studio, it ensures meticulous lighting accuracy with measurements ranging from 2700K to 6500K for color temperature and 10 to 10000 Lux for illuminance, maintaining a minimal error margin. This sensor provides essential data for optimizing image quality, ensuring that photographers and videographers can maintain a consistent visual style throughout their work.

Control it easily with an Arduino UNO development board, and by following the detailed wiring diagram and sample code provided, users can efficiently obtain data on correlated color temperature, illuminance, and color coordinates. This allows for real-time lighting adjustments on site, where environmental factors such as the warm hues of a sunset or the cool tones of overcast conditions can be accurately accounted for, providing better control over lighting effects in photos and videos.

The sensor's compact size, measuring just 26mm by 24mm, makes it an excellent choice for installations in spaces where size constraints are an issue. With a power-efficient design, it operates within a voltage range of 3.3-5V DC while consuming only 2.8mA of current, making it suitable for projects that require minimal power consumption.

By converting the surrounding light into standard physical quantities, the device adeptly measures illuminance intensity, a crucial factor in achieving correct brightness levels for professional photography and videography. The sensor is capable of delivering precise readings in both bright and dim settings, helping to create perfect lighting setups without guesswork.
