How do you measure the "lux" part or set the intensity of halogen lights?

5000 Kelvin is a standard light for viewing photographs. These are typically called 'full spectrum' lights. I have these in my darkroom as the normal lighting plus in the hanging light over the sink. They come as fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent lights, and tungsten. I use four 100W full spectrum CFLs as my ambient light and a 150W FS CFL hanging over my sink (where the hypo tray sits).http://www.visualimpressions.com/Darkroom%20Sink.jpg (hanging light over far end of the sink)Typical gallery lighting is 3200 K halogen lights at an intensity of about 1500 lux.Jim At 12:04 PM 11/6/2007 -0600, Shannon Stoney wrote:What is a "normal" light to look at prints under, when you're judging darkness, contrast, etc? (I dry my prints before looking at them, so dry-down is not a factor.)Sometimes I think I have a print right, but then under some lights it looks too dark, and under other lights it looks perfect. Also what distance should the light be from the print when you are judging it?--shannon======================================================================= ====================================== To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
