The LS-150 series uses a single lens reflex (SLR) optics system that provides users with several important capabilities. The SLR allows highly accurate targeting of light sources. Very small areas, even down to 1.3mm (when close-lens is used), can be measured accurately. Measurement areas at distances both long and short show up consistently in the viewfinder. This flexibility allows even those who have never used the instrument to gather precise measurement results.
The value of the measured luminance is easy to read on the clear backlit LCD screen and also on the bright viewfinder. With this capability, the instrument allows the user to never have to move the instrument from the eye while still perfectly controlling the measured object. The automatic mode sets the measurement time according to the brightness of the target. When measuring light sources that are particularly bright a neutral density eyepiece filter makes the job safe and comfortable. In all measuring tasks, our uniquely designed pistol-type grip provides for a secure hold on the instrument.
