Agile Radiant™ Controlled Light 3

This model is suitable for color selection, color matching and QC checking. It is principally intended for graphic arts applications, but it is also suitable for use with fabrics, home furnishings, paints, plastics, cosmetics, etc. - in fact any application where accurate color is important.

The enclosed viewing area shields out unwanted external light, while the neutral grey panels provide the ideal background for assessing color.

Fitted with electronic ballasts for cool running and instant starting, Model CVC3-2E has three light sources:

Artificial Daylight D65 - This 6,500K fluorescent daylight source is the accepted European and international standard for critical color matching. It is also known as Northlight 55.

Store Light TL84 - Nominally 4,100K, this type of tube is used in many modern store applications, because of the light efficiency. Appearance under this lighting is therefore very important in clothing, home furnishing, packaging and labeling applications. Being made up from red, green and blue phosphors, the spectral output is very spiky, and colors viewed under TL84 can exhibit significant metamerism - so it is an important check.

Tungsten Home Light - Simulates normal home lighting conditions at an approximate color temperature of 2.700K. The higher red content of the light can also result in metamerism.
