Metering LED lights


Recommended Posts

So I’ve been using my Sekonic Studio Deluxe 3 for years now with traditional sources. Definitely a highly reliable light meter, but of course it (like many light meters) can’t accurately meter LED’s. I’ve done a lot of reading, and I am still foggy on how to properly meter for LED lighting.

Could someone offer me an ELI5 (explain it like I’m five) of why a standard Lux meter can’t accurately measure LED’s and how to then properly meter for them?
 

thanks in advance!

Perhaps this article is what you are looking for?

 

I haven't noticed a difference using a current sekonic digital light meter. I recently used my little L-308x to match back lights from Astra panels and Kino flo's, with HMI key and fill light. I had no problem.

Perhaps the problem is related to older generation sensors?
