LS171 is a smart colorimeter which can provide color scan and color comparison for materials. The colorimeter complies with relevant international CIE standards. It adopts D/8 illumination geometry and is equipped with a high-precision sensor that meets CIE. The colorimeter has good consistency and repeatability and need to be used with mobile app for accurate color measurement and quality control. Using this affordable colorimeter will boost your color quality when color requirements are too stringent to depend on visual evaluation alone. It is more accurate and reliable than other basic colorimeters.

Application

As a portable colorimeter, LS171 is widely used in car paint spraying, plastics, metal, hardware, furniture industry, rubber and other fields.
