Light bulb colour temperature spectrum
Light bulb colour temperature spectrum. This spectrum shows how the overall hue of the light from light bulbs can vary in terms of a calculated characteristic known as colour temperature. The light produced by a source such as the Sun or a light bulb will include a range of colours, but this can be averaged out to obtain its colour temperature. The range shown here is from 1500 to 8000 Kelvin. Seven examples of light bulbs are indicated: high-pressure sodium, standard incandescent, halogen, three types of metal halide, and cool white fluorescent. Daylight is 5500 Kelvin. For this spectrum without the labels or examples, see C011/6359

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of light bulb colour temperature spectrum. The spectrum, beautifully illustrated against a white background, demonstrates how different light bulbs emit varying hues based on their calculated characteristic known as colour temperature. Ranging from 1500 to 8000 Kelvin, this comprehensive display encompasses seven distinct examples of light bulbs. From the warm glow of standard incandescent bulbs to the crisp illumination of cool white fluorescent lights, each bulb type is clearly labeled and visually represented in this artwork. Additionally, high-pressure sodium, halogen, and three types of metal halide are included in this mesmerizing collection. By averaging out the range of colors emitted by sources like sunlight or artificial lighting, scientists can determine their respective color temperatures. For reference, daylight is measured at 5500 Kelvin on this scale. With its combination of artistry and scientific precision, this print offers a glimpse into the intricate world of optics and electromagnetic radiation. It serves as a valuable tool for understanding how different light sources impact our visual perception and environment.
