Hi, Andrew.
I am trying to find the source or origin of this older daylight definition. I tried to look up the post you referenced below but didn't have any luck. I looked at the list archives for June 2011 but couldn't find a thread under the subject 'The History of Standard Illuminants'. Are you sure this post is from June 2011 ?
Thank you,
Joseph.
