Hello,

Both F1 and F5 are "standard" fluorescent daylight illuminants.
F1 has CCT=6430K and CRI=76.
F5 has CCT=6350K and CRI=72.
What is the difference?


F5 is widely available in ArgyllCMS. F1 is not.

I have some compact flourescent bulbs which are 6500 K Cool daylight and CRI 
80. F1 could be a better match than F5 for these? Are the spectra of F5 and F1 
very different?


P.S. I do not have a spectrometer to measure the bulbs.

Stephen.
