It’s good as a basic light meter once you get the hang of it (I used it for analog) but the settings and the functionality of the app are not the most intuitive to use. It could have many more specifics when setting it up in terms of ranges and so on. It would also help if it could have multiple frame options
No setup instructions it is trash
How do you set a fixed ISO? No instructions, nothing, nada, zip. Deleting app as it is pointless and useless for film.
Honestly
I first downloaded this at the beginning of my film journey, helped me walk through the door. Now, as a creature out of habit, I still use this app. I’ve learned the nuances of it, so after I meter for the highlights and or shadows I just kinda “have a feel” for it now and use it as a referencing point. And honestly, isn’t that what any light meter app is for with film? Just to give you a stable referencing point for you to play off of?
Great but
Great but one broke they would not replace it so I bought another.
My Primary Meter
This is a fabulous and convenient product that I use on every photoshoot. The color meter mode is essential for my architectural work, and replaces my Gossen color meter. I rely on the incident meter mode as a starting point for my interior shots.
Discontinued product. Do not buy.
Their website is still up and transacting. Do not buy. They do not respond to support or any requests.
This was super convenient. Bummer they shut down operations. They could have at least turned off their website, social media, etc so everybody would know they’ve closed operations…
No Longer Works
I purchased a Lumu Power Light Meter in 2017 and it’s been working great till the past two months. I’m able to connect the device to my phone and it seems like it’s working, but the color temp readout option doesn’t appear any more. I tried re-installing the firmware on the device from the app, then restore purchases, and even tried to buy the color temp option again. No luck. Contacted support three times now, and have not gotten a reply. Used to be a great product and app, however it’s gone south. Look elsewhere if you want to have a product that lasts. Sad.
Good overall but have some space for improvement
I like the simplicity of this app and the minimalistic design. The only thing that I would like to see is aperture priority mode.
Ordered the meter, never received, they ghosted me
I ordered the Lumu light meter with the lightning connector. They said it would ship in 1-2 weeks. It’s been 4 weeks and they are not responding to my emails.
