Hello Eric,
Thanks for your reply.
Of course I am familiar with the new revision of 3664, it was a hasty email on Friday afternoon and I should have offered more details to be clearer.
I am interested in 'Hardware Store Tubes' not so much for critical viewing but rather to use in a factory nearby presses and other areas where colour critical appraisal will be conducted.
At a plant last week i used Babel's CT&A to show a customer lights on all their presses needed updating. Around the press area all the 'industrial tubes' are old and yellow and I was able to measure them and deduce these tubes were in fact influencing the results on the press console.
I thought if there was a off the shelf tube at a reasonable price, which does not too badly influencing the critical viewing area, it would make sense to use these tubes in the areas surrounding the presses.
It might be the model mentioned was "Philips TL-D-90"
Anyone using a specific specification for around the presses, but not critical viewing?
Regards,
Dan
