Illuminati Instrument IM150 Light - Color Meter

The B&H Light Meter Buying Guide

Designed with a compact, sleek form factor, the IM150 Light and Color Meter from Illuminati Instruments is a wireless meter for video, cine, broadcast, photo, and industrial applications. The IM150 offers color accuracy for LED sources, improved strobe metering and triggering, and a battery life of approximately 40 hours of continuous use. Truly wireless, the IM150 continuously sends exposure and color temperature info directly to your smartphone running the Illuminati App for iOS or Android. It works with all types of lighting - tungsten, daylight, LED, fluorescent, HMI, and strobe. Multiple Illuminati meters can be connected to your smartphone, so you can monitor many lights simultaneously.

Measure Continuous Lighting

Exposure: Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO, plus Frame Rate & Shutter Angle for Video

Color Temperature: Kelvin

Measures all kinds of continuous light, including LED, HMI, tungsten, fluorescent and daylight

Measure Strobes

Combines both exposure and color temperature for strobe readings

Dedicated high-speed circuitry to filter out camera pre-flash and accurately measure strobe power and color

Measure strobe ratios (foreground/background or main/fill/hair, etc.)

Helps you detect and correct color differences under mixed lighting, or craft deliberate neutral + warm/cool lighting scenarios

Measures Color of Strobe and Ambient Light

Detect and correct color differences when shooting with mixed lighting

Select gels for correcting your strobe or LED lights

Libraries for Rosco and Lee filters

Connect Multiple Sensors to Your Phone

Simultaneously measure color of different light sources, e.g. daylight from windows and artificial lighting

Meter large areas to get uniform lighting - great for green screens

Measure the foreground and background simultaneously with multiple meters

Measure strobe ratios (foreground/background or main/fill/hair, etc.)

Measure Illuminance in Lux and Color in Chromaticity

Measure strobe ratios (foreground/background or main/fill/hair, etc.)

Simultaneously measure color of different light sources, e.g. daylight from windows and artificial lighting

Trigger a Meter Reading

From the app

From your watch

From button on the meter

Continuous ambient monitoring - no need to keep pressing buttons

Flash Triggering

Strobe photo trigger with automatic preflash rejection

Use a sync cable from Illuminati Meter sync port to remotely trigger strobes

Spring-Loaded Retractable Dome

Dome toggles up/down much like a ballpoint pen cap

Dome up for metering people or other 3D objects and multiple light sources at same time

Dome down for metering flat objects or single light sources

Safety feature: accidental pressure on the dome will push it into meter body instead of cracking

RGB Status Indicator LEDs on Meter Face

Used for displaying status information (battery warning, BLE connection status, etc.)

Primarily used to display user-programmable light and color level alarms. The LEDs are a great way to check lighting conditions with even looking at your phone

Powered by Two AAA Batteries

Battery life is approximately 40 hours of continuous use

AAA batteries are easy to find, easy to replace

No need to worry about charging an internal or proprietary battery
