Dear all, these indicators are good tools to warn you if you are in non D50 light. They are not suitable to determine if you have a good D50 simulator. If you do not see or only barely visible differences it _could_ be that you have a good D50 simulation. If you see big differences between the metameric pairs you definitely do not have a suitable D50 simulation. The second application is what these strips are meant for, the first not.

Graeme,
You are teasing us. Please elaborate. I had the same 'ambitions' as Axel but only mirrored his disappointment.
What exactly is 'sufficient' to achieve a match with a metameric pair?
If these things are so inadequate why does UGRA/FOGRA/GATF market them?

Dear all,
I experience some problems with different light indicators like :
PANTONE® LIGHTING INDICATOR Stickers
PIA/GATF RHEM Light Indicator
Ugra/Fogra light indicator
Those indicators seem incredibly vague in what they are supposed to do, and under what conditions they "work".
The Pantone indicator talks about "being viewed under a 5000K (degrees Kelvin) standard light source.", and the others use similar terminology, but this is nonsense - such indicators depend on the colors being visual metamers under a certain light _spectrum_. Merely being the right color temperature is not sufficient to guarantee a match.
