5000° K Full Spectrum Lighting


  • Subject: 5000° K Full Spectrum Lighting

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
