Liminal Photonics presents a pocket spectral light meter for lighting work, paired with an offline phone app and an open wireless API.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-17 issue.

For: Lighting designers, growers, museum staff, and film crews
Worth noticing: The explodable CAD model is labeled as the current design, with case details subject to change before first units ship.

Field notes

The measurement menu extends beyond spectrum to flicker, UVA, near-infrared, and color-rendering measures, with explanations of where some readings matter—for example, UV ratios for sensitive museum objects. The page describes saving dated readings for gallery records or timestamped files for lighting punch lists. Its interactive model is explicitly simplified for the web, and the company notes that hardware details may change before shipping.
