Best Quality Daylight in a Premium Light Booth
Lighting plays a critical role in accurate color evaluation. The top-of-the-line SpectraLight QC is the ideal light booth to visually assess larger samples and evaluate special effects under all relevant lighting conditions. When used to evaluate color during design, specification, pre-production, production and quality assurance, the SpectraLight QC can reduce waste due to rejects and rework, shorten time to market, and improve overall product quality.
For the Most Critical Visual Assessment
- Includes 7 light sources including dimmable filtered-tungsten halogen daylight and optional LED
- Ensures consistent visual assessment across a supply chain
- Offers unprecedented reporting and traceability
7 Versatile Light Source Options
The SpectraLight QC offers seven light sources. This includes the best quality daylight available, CIE Daylight, Cool White Fluorescent, Incandescent “A” & 2300K/Horizon, UVA, two fluorescent types (choice of U30, U35, TL83, and TL84) and choice of LED light sources (3500K, 4000K or 5000k). The SpectraLight QC also offers instant power-up and an indicator light to ensure operators of optimum stability.
Ensure Comprehensive Visual Assessment
The SpectraLight QC can help build standard operating procedures across the supply chain with settings for every program, custom profiles based on brand owner requirements for light source, illumination, and other parameters, and unprecedented reporting and traceability. SpectraLight QC enables checkpoints for approvals across the supply chain, from the vendor and the sourcing office all the way up to product design and corporate quality control. When used as a holistic solution, the SpectraLight QC reduces human error, standardizes conditions for visual assessment, and saves time and money.
Standards Compliance
The gold standard, complying with ISO: 3664, 3668, 13076, 23603, AATCC: EP9, ASTM: D1729, SAE: J361, DIN: 6173, CIE: S012/E, 51.2, and BSI: BS 950 Pt.2.
Built-In Sensors and Calibration
Built-in sensors monitor and correct UV output and maintain inter-instrument agreement and a counter shows total hours each light source has been used.
Standard Size Viewing Area
The SpectraLight QC offers a standard size internal viewing area that measures D23 x H23 x W35 in. (D58 x H58 x W90 cm.)
Suitable for Color Inspection Across All Industries
Textiles, clothing, dyeing, printing, plastics, pigments, paints, inks, coatings, photography, and more industries that need accurate colors.

Light sources description:
D65 – International standard Artificial Daylight, color temperature is 6500K. CIR is 98. Specified for most applications where color consistency and quality are required. High conformance to ISO 23603 – CIE S 012/E specifications for accurate color matching.
D50 – Color Proof “Artificial Daylight”for graphic and photographic applications., color temperature is 5000K. CIR is 98.
TL84 – Applicable for stores in China, Japan and Europe, color temperature is 4000K,CIR is 85.
CWF – (Cool White Fluorescent) American Standard, color temperature is 4150K, CIR is 62. TL83 – ( Warm White Fluorescent ), American Standard, color temperature is 3000K, CIR is 85
U35 – One of an American light source , color temperature 3500K. CIR is 85
F – “Sun-setting Light Yellow” incandescent light source (imitation of sunset), Required by BS 950: Part 1 as a test for metamerism (approximating CIE Illuminant ‘A’ ) color temperature 2700K. CIR is 100
A – Tungsten Halogen Lighting (CIE Illuminant ‘A’ ). This represents incandescent A (inc-A) with a colour temperature of 2856K. CIR is 100 Typical light source used to check for metamerism.
