Image Engineering support team. 4.3.2 iQ-LED calibration The individual LED lights of the iQ-LED inside the CAL3-XL depend on many different types and wavelengths. Some LEDs will change their intensity level and peak wavelength slightly in the first 500- 600 working hours because of a burn-in effect. -
