Store lighting suggestion?
I was contacted by the owner of a quick-print shop, asking for suggestions on in-store lighting. He is planning to change to all-LED lighting in his store - I really have no expertise in the area of workplace lighting and was wondering if anyone would care to chime in? The store is in a university setting and there are a number of student projects printed here, so there *are* some clients who care about color accuracy and appearance. I'm not consulting on this job, just looking for info for a friend. 5000K throughout makes for pretty harsh workplace lighting... what advice would we have, for a store owner who is asking how he can do things better? Many thanks- Randy Norian rg500delta@me.com

Can you explain? I have always used 5000K in the print shop. New work area has 5000K LED lighting and I don't see anything harsh about it. Doyle
Typical office lighting is at 4000K or even lower - in comparison 5000K looks harsh. Compared to typical lighting in some manufacturing facilities (6000K or 6500K) it looks almost warm and fuzzy… Olaf On 23 Feb 2015, at 23:29, ygroups <ygroups@dypinc.com> wrote:

Look at Soraa Lighting LED bulbs. They make a pretty good MR-16 replacement bulb with up to 95 CRI. Regards, David DAVID SCHARF PHOTOGRAPHY *DAVID SCHARF PHOTOGRAPHY* Scanning Electron Microscopy http://www.scharfphoto.com On 2/23/15 12:33 PM, Randy Norian wrote:

Hi David, Do you perhaps mean this lamp : http://www.soraa.com/public/docs/Spec-Sheets-GU5.3-US/3.0/Soraa%20SM16%207W.... I couldn't find the spectral power distribution in the specs :( Is this a lamp that you used yourself?

Hi Roger, Yes, the "Vivid" series of lamps. I have been trying out various LED MR-16 halogen replacement lamps for my home and these are spectrally the best I have tried. My problem is that I need to find a lamp that will work with dimmers and work with the fixtures I already have. The Soraa Vivid lamp I tried looked great but flickered when I dimmed it way down. Of course I really didn't have a proper dimmer that would work with LED lights--just tried it out with the old dimmer I had. Not really sure how they would perform in a color-critical lighting situation. I still use 5000°K flourescents in my studio. Still, they are the best looking LED light I have come across.
