Computation of Correlated Color Temperature and Distribution Temperature

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Methods by which the correlated color temperature and the distribution temperature of a light source may be calculated from a knowledge of the spectral power distribution of the source are described. Digital-computer programs have been written to perform the calculations; these programs are described, with the results of some tests for a number of sources. The two temperatures are significantly different for some sources. A new concept, “daylight distribution temperature” is also introduced and some examples are given.
