Gossen Sixticolor for reading color temp

[damian_russo]

How do I get my Sixticolor to tell me the color temp of my light

source???

 

I need a meter to determine the color temps of my different hot

lights, can a Sixticolor do this, and if so, HOW???

The old sixticolor is not a very good tool. Sixticolor measure only red and green. For an acurate measure you need a 3 light measuring (red, blue, green).

 

With a 2 point measure you can't have acurate indication with non-linear light (fluo light, xenon light, hight presure gaz light, etc...).

 

A Thermocolor meter is expensive, for the price it's good to have a tool usable when the light is not easy !

 

the new gossen (colormaster 3F) is very good and the minolta are excellents (probably the best on the market)

 

You should make a (very) primitive colormeter with comparative measurement behind red (29) and blue (47) filter.
