Specifying Color of Fluorescent Lamps

When it comes to choosing the best color for fluorescent lamps, the most common response is, "It does not matter, as long as it's white." Since we have more than 100 different 'shades of white', or phosphor blends, to chose from, and slight variation can make a big difference for many applications. The best way to define the color is by the color coordinates. Below is the 1976 C.I.E. U.C.S. Chromaticity Diagram to help you understand the color you are looking for. By specifying a color coordinate, we will choose our closest existing phosphor. If, however, one of our commonly used phosphors does not meet your needs, we can develop a new blend just for you.
