light source, than with a tungsten lamp?


It probably is a reasonable assumption. As I noted in the paper,
there are two things that could improve the FWA compensation scheme:

1) Availability of print measuring instruments with a software switchable
   UV filter, or switchable, characterized, extra UV light source (such as
   a UV LED).

2) Availability of illuminant measuring instruments that measure into
   the UV (350nm or so).
