Hmm,
I've found a tungsten bulb to test this with (though it's a rather old
one)
Produktname: Philips CLASSICTONE 60W E27 230V A60 CL
Tc: 2800K
Ra(cd): 100
720lm 60W
My readings were:
1) towards a black surface in a rather (but not quite) dark cupboard:
Result is XYZ: 0.000063 0.000024 0.000071, Yxy: 0.000024 0.398823
0.152360
Ambient = 0.0 Lux, CCT = 1206K (Delta E 844.002624)
Closest Planckian temperature = 999960K (Delta E 184.562801)
Closest Daylight temperature = 34999K (Delta E 193.950907)
2) pointed directly at the light bulb just turned on:
Result is XYZ: 4717.548485 5240.499321 1804.802846, Yxy: 5240.499321
0.401055 0.445513
Ambient = 16463.5 Lux, CCT = 3961K (Delta E 41.546625)
Closest Planckian temperature = 3293K (Delta E 32.139549)
Closest Daylight temperature = 3393K (Delta E 30.456772)
I took 13 more readings over the course of a few minutes without much
change. I tried variations of distance to the bulb from a few inches
to an arm's length. The lux range was between 700 and 23000. I tried
shutting the daylight out (put bulb and and reader in a white bucket
or a cupboard and close it). Still, the Planckian temperature was
always around 3200K. I only got anything near 2800 once.
All of that with the ambient light adapter on, of course.
Thanks,
Karl.

Does it have an ambient light adapter ?
If I point my i1d2 with the ambient light adapter on at a standard
tungsten incandescent globe (color temperature nominally that of
'A', about
2870 K), and do an ambient reading (ie. spotread -a -x), I get the
following:

How does your's compare ? Is it's color temperature and xy values
similar ?
