Often an artist will want to show his or her work in high colour temperature light.

A strong light source, often a high-intensity discharge lamp with a high colour temperature.

The kelvin is often used in the measure of the colour temperature of light sources.

The effect of high correlated colour temperature office lighting on employee wellbeing and work performance.

For critical applications, a colour temperature meter should be used, or the manufacturer's graphs consulted.

In essence, colour temperature is how "warm" or "cold" white light is.

The reason for this is because a higher colour temperature will give a more accurate representation of colours in paintings, photos, etc.

The Kruithof curve, describing the influence of colour temperature on visual perception, is named after him.

This gave better results as the filters removed the reddish bias to the lamps when at low intensity (lower colour temperature).

This measurement should be made at a specific color temperature, such as "at a colour temperature of 2854 K".

In the case of fashion show lighting it is usually the goal to have light of medium colour temperature (around 5600 Kelvin).

Light intensity is linearly controlled with constant colour temperature and light emission angle.

This characteristic of incandescent lighting can be used for various practical applications where a different colour temperature of light is required.

Reducing the illuminator lamp intensity may not be desirable as this alters the colour temperature of the incident light.

One of the main problems is to match the colour temperature of the film with that of the incident light, assuming correct exposure.

Colour temperature meters can read the temperature of the existing lighting conditions and guide the selection of the filter.

Daylight colour film (around 5500 K colour temperature) can only be used directly with daylight and a substage mirror.

If the sodium pressure is high enough, then the lamp's colour temperature and colour rendering can be made virtually identical to those of ordinary light bulbs.

The continuous lighting uses tungsten bulbs with a colour temperature of around 3200 instead of daylight-balanced (5500 ) flash tubes.

This "colour temperature" is somewhere between that of an old-fashioned incandescent lightbulb and noon-time sunlight; both whites, but subtly different.

Colour temperature is based upon the principle that a black body radiator emits light whose colour depends on the temperature of the radiator.

The more expensive models have provision for mounting filters and extra diffusers to soften the beam further and correct the colour temperature of the light as required.

"The light produced [by the LifeBulb] is colour temperature 2800 - almost identical to that of the incandescent warm white colour traditionally used.

Television often uses a "square law" curve, providing finer control in top part of the curve, essential to allow accurate trimming of the colour temperature of lighting.

Outdoor conditions are mimicked with varying colour temperatures and spectral outputs from the grow light, as well as varying the lumen output (intensity) of the lamps.

Often an artist will want to show his or her work in high colour temperature light.

Are the color temperatures going to always read close to the temperature of the room?

In photography, and other applications, you will sometimes see what is called a color temperature.

Generally any color temperature other than 2700K will look unnatural in a home setting.

He did pioneering work in measuring the color temperature of stars.

In the desktop publishing industry, it is important to know a monitor's color temperature.

A black body can be described by its color temperature, whose hues are depicted above.

Natural daylight has a high color temperature (approximately 5000 K).

However, the color temperature changes significantly when the lamp is dimmed.

Both of the cited standards specify a 6,500 K color temperature.

This presented a continuous range of color temperatures to choose a reference from.

Flash also eliminates any worry about the color temperature of the lights.

"White light" is commonly described by its color temperature.

A new bulb generally will output at a color temperature close to 15,000 K during its first few hours.

The color temperature at which this test is made tends to vary slightly between manufacturers.

Raymond Davis published a paper on correlated color temperature (his term).

Fluorescents come in a range of different color temperatures.

The color temperature does not drop when dimmed either, which makes for an unnaturally white light.

Color temperature for white light sources also affects their use for certain applications.

A strong light source, often a high-intensity discharge lamp with a high colour temperature.

Some units have electronics to compensate and maintain a steady color temperature through the power range.

"Ideally, what you want is a light that provides the exact color temperature of sunlight at noon."

For lighting building interiors, it is often important to take into account the color temperature of illumination.

The kelvin is often used in the measure of the colour temperature of light sources.

The effect of high correlated colour temperature office lighting on employee wellbeing and work performance.
