2. Color temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

   An incandescent lamp's light is thermal radiation, and the bulb approximates an ideal black-body radiator, so its color temperature is essentially the temperature of the filament. Thus a relatively low temperature emits a dull red and a high temperature emits the almost white of the traditional incandescent light bulb.

3. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

   The CIE positions D65 as the standard daylight illuminant: [D65] is intended to represent average daylight and has a correlated colour temperature of approximately 6500 K. CIE standard illuminant D65 should be used in all colorimetric calculations requiring representative daylight, unless there are specific reasons for using a different illuminant.

   A 230-volt LED filament lamp, with an E27 base. The filaments are visible as the eight yellow vertical lines. An assortment of LED lamps commercially available in 2010: floodlight fixtures (left), reading light (center), household lamps (center right and bottom), and low-power accent light (right) applications An 80W Chips on board (COB) LED module from an industrial light luminaire, thermally ...

5. Color rendering index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index

   Researchers use daylight as the benchmark to which to compare color rendering of electric lights. In 1948, daylight was described as the ideal source of illumination for good color rendering because "it (daylight) displays (1) a great variety of colors, (2) makes it easy to distinguish slight shades of color, and (3) the colors of objects around us obviously look natural".

6. Lighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting

   The color temperature of a white light source is the temperature in kelvins of a theoretical black body emitter that most closely matches the spectral characteristics (spectral power distribution) of the lamp. An incandescent bulb has a color temperature around 2800 to 3000 kelvins; daylight is around 6400 kelvins.

7. Correlated color temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlated_color_temperature

   A black body is characterized by its temperature and emits light of a specific hue, which is referred to as color temperature. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In practice, light sources that approximate Planckian radiators, such as certain fluorescent or high-intensity discharge lamps, are assessed based on their CCT, which is the temperature of a Planckian ...
