X-Rite (Macbeth) SpectraLight III Viewing Booth

X-Rite SpectraLight III Viewing Booth

Macbeth SpectraLight III uses a patented filtered tungsten halogen daylight source. That means it contains an even balance of color energy just like natural daylight. The more even the balance of color energy, the more accurately the light source renders color. This color energy is shown in a spectral power distribution curve (SPD). If your light source doesn't match the SPD curve for natural daylight, then your ability to evaluate color is skewed. That means you could be approving color that your customers will reject and vice versa!

SpectraLight III Features:

• Six Programmable Light Sources for Hands-Free Viewing:

  1. Daylight (D50, D65, or D75) *
  2. Horizon (SpectraLight exclusive)

  6. UV Ultraviolet Bulb

     • UV 5X:

     • UV Blended with Daylight:

       • Lower intensity simulates natural sunlight for a more accurate simulation of the affects of whitening agents
