A colour viewing box ensures that the viewer always sees the same colour, even at varying lighting conditions. Some examples of light sources are shop / office light (TL84), house light (A) and artificial daylight (D65) which has a UV content which is defined according to D65. It is possible to order a colour viewing box with an additional UV light. However, the user must bear in mind that this is only needed if a client wants to test artificial brightening agents in materials or make them visible.
For a regular evaluation of colours by means of a colour viewing box, such a UV lamp is definitely not necessary. You can find out how individual colour viewing boxes are designed and what special features they offer by clicking on a product of the category colour viewing boxes below. Colour viewing boxes form part of production processes of manufacturers of many different goods. These devices are used in the quality assurance of existing products as well as in the development of new products. We offer a wide range of colour viewing boxes.
They are available as daylight boxes which simulate how a product looks in daylight but we also have other colour viewing boxes which are designed to simulate a higher number of light sources, allowing a detailed simulation of products under different lighting conditions. The reason for these simulations is that producers would like to offer products which are always of the same colour. The technical term for the phenomenon when equal colours look differently under different lighting conditions is metamerism. With a colour viewing box, such metamerism can be prevented to make sure that only high-quality goods are produced. You can purchase a colour viewing box directly in our shop or ask our technical staff for advice regarding this type of product.
