GTI ColorMatcher 6500K Color Matching Lamps

for Critical Color Matching & Inspection

A word about
A properly designed color matching system takes into consideration the output and
color quality of the lamps as well as the proper surround (Munsell N7), the reflector, and
the diffuser. In order to assure excellent color rendition and tight tolerance to industry
standards and visual agreement, GTI produces the GTI ColorMatcher brand of lamps.
These lamps have exceptional color rendering properties and provide consistent and
accurate D65 color quality. They not only include energy in the visible spectrum, but
also in the near UV area of the spectrum to provide a far more accurate simulation of
true daylight to observe the effects of fluorescent brighteners. GTI ColorMatcher D65
lamps are available in a wide range of sizes.

Better Viewing By Design...

The best color rendition is achieved by having the closest match to the spectral power curve of the industry aimpoint: D65.
The graphs below depict the spectral power distribution of two fluorescent 6500K lamps compared with D65. The one on the
left, GTI ColorMatcher, delivers a much closer match to the D65 curve and, therefore, delivers much greater color fidelity and
tighter compliance to the viewing standard.
