INTRODUCTION
The X-Rite SpectraLight III is a visual color evaluation system which provides five
selectable light sources:
• Simulated Daylight (D75, D65, or D50)
• Horizon (early morning sunrise/afternoon sunset simulation)
• Illuminant “A” (incandescent home lighting)
• Cool White Fluorescent (CWF)
• Custom Fluorescent (TL84 or U30)
• Ultraviolet (UV- used in conjunction with another source)

INSTALLATION
Recommendations for Surround
X-Rite SpectraLight III is designed for critical color evaluation and therefore it is important that precautions betaken to
ensure the best environment for this purpose.
• Viewing booth installations provide an area which is manufactured in conformance with ASTM standards. The work
surface and surround area of view are neutral in color and low in gloss. The opening of the booth should face an area
that provides the least interference from ambient light (natural or artificial).
• Overhead luminaire installations require the user to develop a controlled viewing environment. Contamination from
other light sources can minimize the effectiveness of a standardized source, so the evaluation area should always be
shielded from ambient light (natural or artificial). The best location for an overhead luminaire is in a windowless room
with no interference from other light sources. If these conditions are not available, light-tight curtains should be
selected, a viewing booth should be constructed, or an enclosing curtain should be used. The Luminaire should be
installed no closer than 2 feet to the nearest walls to minimize light level uniformity problems. To avoid color
