Rainbow-y!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two on-board white LEDs mean that you can illuminate materials to give more accurate spectral readings and also measure reflectivity of surfaces. The LEDs we've used are really high quality ones with a CRI of \u0026gt;=90 and a colour temperature of 4,000K for consistent and accurate colour rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can do all sorts of cool things with this sensor, like analysing different light sources, measuring  transmission of light through materials or solutions (with an additional light source), and more.
