Update:
The Luxi's are sold out and they don't plan to restock, but this method is still possible: Place any generic light dome replacement over the iPhone lens and calibrate as shown in the video (linked below). You can even hold the expodisc over the iPhone lens in the same manner. It's all the same as long as its a translucent natural grey. There was nothing special about the Luxi except that it had a convent clip.

Here's a method for measuring and setting white balance that we've been doing for several years. I know that many of you love to balance by eye, and if that's working well then there's no need to change. But I've always had more consistent results and a better image quality by using the ExpoDisc and more often Cine Meter II with the Luxi.

Some Notes:
Remember to put your magenta shift back at zero when you've finished shooting in green light. This can burn you if you're not careful.

It’s rare, but if the green shift ever reads higher than your camera can dial out, leave it at zero and do a custom white balance with a grey card or expodisc. Canon and Sony will remove more green this way. But don’t add magenta shift to a custom white balance because it will shift it in addition to the already neutral image.

You're not measuring the light but your position to the light. That's why everything outdoors is not 5600k. If you’re using mostly shade, 5600k will be too cold. So try to always measure from the position and perspective of your subject on the side that your camera is facing.
