Pro-Lite has released the Colorbug colorimeter from Ocean Optics, which measures the illuminance and colour of a light source then beams the data via its wireless transmitter to an Iphone or Ipod.
The Colorbug is a hand-held wireless device for testing the colour and illuminance in theatrical studio and architectural applications.
It is no bigger than a typical mobile phone and works wirelessly with the Iphone and Ipod Touch to determine CIE chromaticity and illuminance values.
Colorbug is supplied with a software application for the Iphone or Ipod Touch.
Illuminance is measured in the range from 0.1 to 15,000 lux, while light source colour is reported in CIE x and CIE y (1931) chromaticity coordinates and correlated colour temperature.
Colorbug is equipped with a built-in lithium ion battery that charges through a mini USB interface.
The wireless interface is 802.11 a/b/g compatible.
