Konica Minolta LS-150 Luminance Meter/Chroma Meter

LS-150 (Konica Minolta) Features and Specifications *

The Konica Minolta LS-150 is an advanced luminance meter designed to provide high-accuracy luminance measurements, catering to a wide range of professional applications. The LS-150 stands out due to its precision, ease of use, and adaptability, making it a valuable tool for industries requiring meticulous light measurement and analysis. It measures luminance ranging from 0.001 to 999,900 cd/m² with a 1° measuring angle. Its sensor is designed to closely match the V(λ) spectral luminous efficiency function of the human eye, ensuring measurement results correlate well with visual evaluations. This feature makes the LS-150 particularly useful for applications that rely on human visual perception, such as quality control in manufacturing and display calibration. The Model LS-150 utilizes an SLR (single-lens reflex) optical system with an f = 85 mm F2.8 lens, providing a 9° angle of view with diopter adjustment. This setup ensures that users can target specific areas accurately, even from a distance. The minimum measuring area is 14.4 mm in diameter, which can be reduced to 1.3 mm using close-up lenses. This versatility allows for precise measurements of both large and small targets. This unit is designed with user convenience in mind. It features a bright viewfinder for easy targeting and a backlit display that is readable even in low-light conditions. The display automatically switches off during measurements to conserve battery life. The ergonomic design includes an easy-to-hold grip and smooth focusing mechanism, ensuring comfort during extended use. The included software enhances the functionality of the Konica Minolta LS-150   by allowing it to be controlled from a PC. Users can conduct repeated interval measurements, display data on graphs or lists, and export data to spreadsheet applications. The meter supports various measurement modes, including instantaneous value, maximum/minimum value, luminance difference (Δ), and luminance ratio (%). Connectivity is facilitated through a USB 2.0 interface, and the meter can be powered by AA-size batteries, USB bus power, or an optional AC adapter.

This device offers a user calibration function with 10 channels, allowing for precise adjustments based on specific requirements. It has a data memory capacity of 1,000 data points, ensuring ample storage for extensive measurement sessions. The meter also complies with DIN 5032-7 Class B standards, ensuring reliable performance in professional settings. This luminance meter comes with a range of standard accessories, including a lens cap, eyepiece ND filter, eyepiece cap, AA-size batteries, hard case, wrist strap, USB cable, and data management software. Optional accessories, such as close-up lenses, a CCD camera adapter, an illuminance adapter, and an AC adapter, further extend the meter's capabilities. These accessories enable the Konica Minolta LS-150 to perform specialized tasks, such as measuring tiny areas, monitoring from a distance, and measuring illuminance. The Konica Minolta LS-150 operates within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C and a relative humidity of 85% or less. It is designed to be robust and reliable under various environmental conditions, ensuring consistent performance in diverse settings. The meter's dimensions are 71×214×154 mm, and it weighs 850 g without batteries, making it portable and easy to handle.

The model LS-150 is a highly accurate, versatile, and user-friendly luminance meter suitable for a wide range of professional applications. Its advanced features, such as the precise spectral response sensor, user calibration options, and comprehensive software, make it an indispensable tool for industries that require meticulous light measurement and analysis. Whether used in manufacturing, display calibration, or quality control, the LS-150 provides reliable and accurate results that align closely with human visual perception, ensuring high standards of quality and performance.

The Konica Minolta LS-150 price and features make it a very attractive option comparing to similar luminance meters available on the market.
