Product Descriptions
LS-176 Colorimeter

Full spectrum LED light source with balanced spectral distribution in the visible light range

Advanced spectral sensor with curve fitting algorithm

Offer professional spectral reflectance curve

Good repeatability, in line with national standards for Grade 1 colorimeter

LS176 is a handheld multifunctional colorimeter with a 3.5 inch IPS color capacitive touch screen for an excellent experience. The instrument integrates many color cards, which can be matched to the nearest color card number for the sample color. It also has a color comparison function, a variety of color difference formulas to choose from, allowing for quick QC testing. The instrument meets the requirements about Grade 1 colorimeter in the Chinese JJG 595-2002 "Verification Regulation of Colorimeters and Color Difference Meters" in all directions.

Application

The instrument employs full spectrum LED light source and spectral sensor, adopting D/8 illumination geometry with high measurement accuracy. It is widely used in the industries of automotive paint, hardware processing, stone, decorative materials, and plastic.

Spectral sensor with fitting algorithm to provide good repeatability

Equipped with an advanced spectral sensor, the instrument has a unique set of intelligent algorithms to analyse the 8 wavelengths of visible light to ensure accuracy.

Full spectrum LED light source

The instrument uses a full spectrum balanced LED light source to avoid the problem of white LEDs missing the spectrum in specific wavelengths, making measurements more accurate.

Adopting D/8 international common lighting method, widely applied

The instrument uses the D/8 international universal illumination method, including specular reflected light (SCI), for a wide range of applications.

Conforms to the national Grade 1 colorimeter standards

The instrument meets the requirements about Grade 1 colorimeter in the Chinese JJG 595-2002 "Verification Regulation of Colorimeters and Color Difference Meters" in all directions.

Support data import and export with PC software

With PC software, it has stronger statistical analysis function of color difference and can import and export the stored data of the instrument at the same time.

Extended the functions via mobile app

App connection for color sharing on the app.

Quick matching of color cards

It includes multiple electronic color cards to quickly match the nearest color card number, with matching accuracy of over 90%.

3.5 inch large touch screen

3.5 inch capacitive touch screen for a good human-machine interface.

QC function

QC function allows users to quickly assess color accuracy against existing standards and realize rapid batch inspection.

Rich color index

Supports a wide range of color measurement index to meet the needs of various CIE certifications including CIE XYZ, CIE Yxy, CIE LAB, Hunter LAB, CIE LCH, CME, CIE94, whiteness and yellowness.

Spectral reflectance curves

Provides professional spectral reflectance curves from which the user can obtain information on the hue, saturation and shade of the sample color.
