Reveni Labs Lumo Light Meter experiences

[Certain Exposures]

What's your 5 month review of the Reveni Labs Lumo Light Meter? Just curious. Also, do any of you work on film sets and use it there, too?​

I also posted this question on Reddit because I am looking for answers from people that have used it a lot. So far I've only seen 'first impressions.'

My question on Reddit:

I came across this meter while surfing the web yesterday. So far I've only seen 'first impressions.'

I wonder how you folks are liking it because I want something that hits the portability/functionality sweet spot. I prefer not to pull out my phone if I can avoid it. My current incident meter works fine. It's just bigger than I'd like, doesn't go past 800 ISO setting, and lacks a few cine shutter speeds. I have a spot meter I'm alright with for special occasions.

P.s. I would love to see a picture of your Lumo next to the Sekonic L308 for a size comparison if any of you have both. I have neither.

I'll start: I hardly have a shortage of light meters (eight (8) as of last count), but I was so impressed by the promised specs that I wanted one.
I ordered on Wednesday after firing off a couple of questions about DHL delivery, which were very promptly answered by Matt. Now, I'm awaiting delivery!

I've merged your post into the present thread as @Certain Exposures has also asked the same question.

My regular meter is Metered Light's Pocket Spot or the Sekonic L758 for Large Format, and a little Gossen DigiFlash for anything else, so I was keen to get the Lumo for it's small size, rechargeability, colour temp measuring and general innovation. It does all those things, but I can't say I've warmed to the menu system yet, and have found it confusing in the field - the simplicity/accuracy of the Pocket Spot makes it my go to, and the wireless triggering of the Sekonic makes it the perfect studio beast. The Gossen is just so easy to read (especially now I'm in my 50's and my close vision has gone South, boo). I will keep trying though, as the Lumo is really nicely made and packed with features...

Marc!

I have a few good light meters, but when I read up on the LUMO FROM Reveni Labs in Canada, I just couldn't resist. I read through the online manual and knew'I've gotta have it. My expectations were high, and I lived through the ten-day delivery to Germany like a kid counting down the days to Christmas. I'm happy to report that my high expectations were met and exceeded. light meter in hand, Iwent trhrough the entire manual. I had trouble understanding a few bits, but those were quickly cleared up by Matt from Reveni via email. My suggestion is: get one, the little thing is a masterpiece in technology and design. You won't be sorry, and your old light meters will likely be retired. If I had had this earlier, I probably bought no other except for a dedicated 1º spotmeter for the Zone System. For the studio and all exterior incident metering, the Lumo is an absolute gem. Note: I have no affiliation with Reveni Labs other than being a very happy customer.

The specification looks very impressive.
I will keep to the meters that I already own though as it's far too tempting to buy this meter.

You find the exact dimensions in the online manual. to give you an idea, it's a bar 25 mm square and 85 mm long (in other words, tiny). I've had it for a couple of weeks now and love it. It's a masterpiece of design, engineering, and manufacturing. fits into your shirt pocket, measures incident with flash and flash analysis; a pleasure and fun to use. and accurate too. the built-in usb rechargable battry makes it really convenient, and it has not failed me yet.

I wonder what's the C factor for the Lumo. I know the K factor is 12.5. I couldn't find the angle of acceptance of the reflected light meter. Also Reveni doesn't specify accuracy.
