VISUAL COLOR ASSESSMENT WITH MULTIPLE ILLUMINANTS
Color Viewing Light
To predict and avoid potential color matching issues in visual assessment of colored surfaces and materials, including paints, fabrics, ceramics, metals, plastics and paper, the use of color matching devices equipped with multiple illuminants is indispensable. Such devices are often employed in application areas such as:
- Research and development
- Product management
- Procurement & Supplier specifications
- Incoming goods inspection
- Manufacturing process control
- Quality assurance
- Technical, Sales and Customer support

The viewing booths “BASIC” provide a reliable color assessment between three, four or five illuminants. The illuminants are switched on/off by a switch and the lamp‘s operating life is monitored by a digital hour meter. The compact design of the BASIC Color Viewing Light makes it suitable for small to medium-sized samples, irrespective of the material or intended purpose.

LED Color Viewing Light
Precise evaluation of colors, surfaces and materials.
LED Technology – Innovation forVisual Color Evaluation
Reproducing an exact color match between a proof or original samples of textiles, plastic parts, lacquered parts, automotive interiors or a print is essential to fulfilling the stricter quality control requirements demanded by today’s clientele. Additional requirements include reducing costs while maintaining consistent color quality throughout the reproduction processes.
While controlling quality with measuring devices is an important step to the reproduction process, it cannot be the only step toward achieving a visual color match!
The biggest influence on matching colors visually is illumination. Incorrect illumination leads to inferior or incorrect results and costly customer complaints throughout the production process.
The Solution: JUST LED Technology JUST Normlicht has now successfully developed a multispectral LED illuminant (Pat. No. US 8,592,748 B2) that is able to reproduce many different light spectrums with great accuracy.
This multispectral LED illuminant can simulate many standard illuminants including D50, D65, D75, or A, C with adJUST LEDcontrol professional and virtually any other light source with an unmatched spectral accuracy.
JUST LED colorControl are offered in 3 configurations :
1 st Basic : 3 pre-programmed light sources with manual switching and dimming with the built-in control panel.
2 nd Advanced : Includes »adJUST LEDcontrol advanced« software for creating and selecting additional light sources in the available
color space (newly created light sources cannot be stored).
3rd Professional : Includes »adJUST LEDcontrol professional« software for unlimited creation of new light sources. New light sources can be saved to computer and up to 10 illuminants can be programmed into the viewing booth for manual selection with the built in control panel.

Symmetrical or asymmetrical light design?
JUST color proof lights fundamentally offer a choice between a symmetrical or an asymmetrical light design. In a modern, symmetrical light, the rays of light are directed onto the viewing surface in diagonal, cross-over fashion ("cross-symmetrical").
As a result, the observer's position is of no importance. He sees the same thing from all sides. In contrast to conventional, symmetrical systems, which guide the light directly onto the viewing surface in all directions, glare and reflections are almost entirely avoided. This solution is generally used in conference rooms.
The latest generation of asymmetrical systems offers even better characteristics as regards glare and reflections. So, if possible, preference should be given to a color proof light with asymmetrical light design, since the rays of light are then not deflected towards the observer. In this case, viewing is performed from one side. Consequently, all viewing stations from JUST Normlicht are equipped with an asymmetrical light, since viewing is only performed from one side on these devices.
How do you identify the light design of a color proof light?
Products with the letters "AS" are asymmetrical lights (for viewing from one side), while those with the letters "CS" are symmetrical lights (for viewing from several sides).
