My manager and I have had an ongoing discussion
for some time now regarding whether or not 5000°
K lighting is justifiable in our
illustration/photography workstation areas. We do
some prepress work and I have a GTI viewer at our
scanning workstation. Most of our material is
printed in-house (e.g., scientific posters) and
our color is important, but not critical.
The folks at GTI quoted me a price of $23 a lamp,
which my boss absolutely will not go for. I've
seen a number of "Full Spectrum" lamps on the
market that are the same color temperature for as
little as $6 a tube, and I'm thinking that
something is better than nothing. Am I right in
this line of thinking and how prevalent is full
spectrum lighting in the real world?
Also--beyond color fidelity issues--are there any
additional benefits documented about working in
this lighting environment?
The corollary question is how bright should the
working environment be? I took few quick
measurements around the office with my eye-one
found a value of 74 Lux at the monitor is about
390 Lux at the keyboard and quite comfortable to
work in.
Many thanks for your thoughts,
Richard
