Hi Philip I'm sure Solux are great in some applications, I have come across them very occasionally - but the use of (proper) colour 95 florescents in most client and repro house viewers means colour 95 are pretty good, we were talking room light (ie ambient). Be pretty expensive for everyone to light their office with Solux.
As a photographer I viewed my trannies on a <colour 95> 5000K florescent lightbox for 25 years without issue. For best viewing I recomend the GretagMacbeth Judge lightbox (cabinet), it's just too expensive for most working photographers whom I'd rather see using good florescents than just sticking with standard, non specific <<daylight>> ones. 8/8/03 7:43 am Soluxlamps-at-aol.com wrote >In a message dated 08/08/2003 4:22:21 AM Pacific Daylight Time, >info-at-neilbarstow.co.uk writes: > > >> >Is there a >> > standard for ambient lighting? >> yes >> you need D50 (color 95 or 950) florescents and a lowish luminance >> (not sure of a figure without checking the specs) >> >> > >To learn what some well known color management experts suggest as >alternative to "daylight" fluorescent lights go to... > >http://solux.net/colorproofing.htm phew, was that meant to sting <some well known color management experts>?? all the best neil Neil Barstow =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
