X-Rite's Judge LED light booth enables brand owners, manufacturers and suppliers to accurately assess and match color under LED-based standard light sources. The light booth was developed as part of the transition from fluorescent lighting to energy-efficient LED lighting for accurate visual color assessment. This conversion is in line with the global trend towards efficient, sustainable lighting solutions. X-Rite helps customers transition to LED-based color matching while maintaining quality without disrupting operations.
Use in many industries
Industries such as textiles, automotive, paint and coatings, plastics and packaging rely on accurate colors. As fluorescent and LED light sources have different spectral energy distributions, visual matching programs and LED standards must be integrated into color workflows along the entire supply chain. "Our custom-designed LED light sources are intended to match the spectral energy distribution of older fluorescent lamps, including U30, U35, CWF and TL84, as closely as possible and ensure seamless integration into color workflows. This enables companies to meet regulatory requirements, ensure consistent color and prevent color deviations prior to final product assembly," says Albert S. Laforet, Director of Strategic Projects at X-Rite.
Fast and consistent color matching
The Judge LED light booth provides precise and consistent color matching with seven different light sources that simulate a variety of lighting conditions. The seven light sources can be selected from a wide range of industry-leading standard illuminants,
Key features of the Judge LED light booth include:
- Standard illuminants provide consistent color matching through calibrated light sources
- Directional D65 daylight facilitates defect detection and surface inspection for defects
- Digital evaluation offers an optional integrated calibrated monitor to compare physical samples with digital material twins
- The Judge LED light booth operates quietly, generates minimal heat, consumes less energy and has a longer life than fluorescent light booths
- The Judge LED light booth complies with ISO, ASTM, AATCC and BSI visual color matching requirements
