## Description

Professional light analysis without expensive hardware. Measure color temperature, inspect the visible spectrum, directly through your camera.

With LightSpectrumPro EVO you can measure the color temperature of a light source without having to spend hundreds of dollars on professional devices. LightSpectrumPro EVO has an error of 2 - 8% compared to existing professional products on the market. in addition to the color temperature measurement in Kelvin, LightSpectrumPro EVO allows you to view the color spectrum of the light being examined with a band ranging from 360nm to 800nm. in addition to the spectrum it is possible to display the position of the white point on the CIE 1931 diagram and to apply a filter for wavelengths to display in overlay on the image captured by the cameras which elements reflect a specific frequency and with what intensity.

## Review summary

LightSpectrum Pro is a budget tool that helps photographers gauge color temperature and analyze light using an iPhone camera. Pros include affordability, white-balance assistance, and a spectral view without extra hardware. However, readings are approximate (not a true spectrum) and accuracy varies across light sources and devices. Some models (notably iPhone X) report camera/focusing issues, reducing reliability. Use as a practical guide for photography/filmmaking, not as a replacement for professional, scientific meters.

### Pros

- Inexpensive substitute for expensive color meters; it costs only a few dollars and can save money.
- Helps achieve correct white balance quickly in photography/film, improving in-camera WB.
- Provides a spectral/graph view of the light, aiding understanding of color sources beyond just Kelvin readings.
- No external hardware required; portable and accessible on an iPhone with no extra purchases.
- Generally useful for practical photography/film work across many lighting conditions (often within about 100–200K).

### Cons

- Not a true spectrometer: readings are approximate because the iPhone camera has only RGB sensors and cannot capture a full spectrum.
- Accuracy varies by light source and range; LEDs and low/high Kelvin lights can be misread (e.g., 2700K read as 3000K, 2000K read as 2700K).
- Device compatibility issues: some devices (notably iPhone X) show camera/focusing problems and readings may not update consistently.
- Occasional reliability issues on certain devices (readings not changing with movement or failing to update).
- Not suitable for scientific measurements; better as a practical aid than a precise instrument.
