Popis: The colour and colour rendering characteristics of natural daylight are considered together with the requirements for artificial daylight sources for critical colour matching purposes. The development of artificial daylight units utilising tubular fluorescent electric discharge lamps is shown to follow two main lines, namely,(a)a combination of fluorescent powders in either cold or hot cathode fluorescent lamps, and(b)a combination of radiation from fluorescent lamps and groups of incandescent tungsten filament lamps.Practical tubular fluorescent daylight colour matching units using cold cathode tubes are in use in industry for critical colour matching purposes, whilst experimental hot cathode lamps have been used in some prolonged field tests.An alternative method being investigated is to combine blue fluorescent lamps with incandescent tungsten filament lamps. This provides a closer approximation to black body spectral distribution than at present possible with fluorescent lamps alone, provided care is ...
