Light and color perception are two extremely important physical and biological phenomena that are often taken for granted. Measurements of light and light source color can provide important information for a diverse range of industries, but being able to quantitatively measure light and light source color can be extremely difficult without the proper tools. Whether it be the automotive, consumer electronics or lighting industry, it is important to be able to quantify the amount of light and the color of the light being used in an application. This paper will detail the science of light and light source color measurement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6777,"parent":0,"template":"","learning_center_categories":[241],"class_list":["post-6874","white_papers","type-white_papers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","learning_center_categories-light-display-measurement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nLight
