Recommendations for Placement
X-Rite SpectraLight QC is designed for critical color evaluation. Therefore, it is important that precautions be
taken to ensure the best environment for this purpose.
•
Viewing booth installations provide an area which is manufactured in conformance with ASTM standards.
The work surface and surround area of view are neutral in color and low in gloss. The opening of the booth
should face an area that provides the least interference from ambient light (natural or artificial).
•
Overhead luminaire installations require the user to develop a controlled viewing environment. Contamination
from other light sources can minimize the effectiveness of a standardized source, so the evaluation area
should always be shielded from ambient light (natural or artificial). The best location for an overhead
luminaire is in a windowless room with no interference from other light sources. If these conditions are not
available, a viewing booth should be constructed. To avoid color misjudgments, the background on which the
sample is placed and the surrounding area of view should be neutral in color and have a low gloss.
•
Do not block vents – luminaire(s) should be installed so that it is a minimum of 200 mm (8 inches) from the
next luminaire or a wall surface. It is recommend that luminaires are positioned no less than 60cm (2 feet)
from the nearest walls to limit the impact of reflected light on light level uniformity.
Luminaire Angle: Only position suspended overhead luminaires at an angle with the axis of rotation parallel
•
to the longest side. In other words, the long axis should be parallel to the floor. Do not rotate luminaires in
excess of 90 degrees from the downward position.
Viewing Booth Assembly
Move the viewing booth shipping container to the general area that the booth is to be used. Be sure to allow for
sufficient room for assembly.
Carefully examine shipping containers for contents before discarding.
