--- Quote from: coppice on April 03, 2023, 09:33:13 pm ---For decades the best colour rendition available in a light for artists was a rather inefficient fluorescent tube called "graphic". It used different glass to get a the intensity of those 2 main mercury lines down, and a phosphor mix chosen for accuracy over efficiency. They were generally driven from an electronic ballast, to eliminate flicker.

There were many, and the standard for color-accurate graphic design is the so-called D50 light. (Daylight, 5000K.) I haven’t been involved in the graphic arts for a long time, but I assume these will eventually be implemented with LEDs, if they haven’t been already. The fluorescent tubes are still available though.

This thread is reminiscent of the vacuum tube vs solid-state argument, but now it's about light instead of sound.   ::)

Leaving aside your irrelevant US political comments... I would have thought that, with your weather switching to shit, increasing wildfires etc, you would want the whole world to have an environmentalist policy!

Well the ocean's temperature is rising, an scientists admit that it is probably absorbing more heat than they initially thought. I just despair at the mass stupidity and hysteria over everything. We live on a dynamic planet, things change, we are in a small snapshot of it's history and our mere existence and evolution is a statistical fluke, let's not push our luck.
