About
Colors can look different under different lighting conditions – outside in daylight, inside retail stores or in your home. A consistent light source, that accurately simulates various environments, can help you make color critical decisions under optimal conditions. It can also help you catch metameric effects where two colors appear to match under one type of lighting, but fail to match under another.
Having a reliable and comprehensive process to evaluate color is essential, especially in print and manufacturing. Spotting problems early saves time and money later. Reworks are costly in materials, time and resources, and can reflect poorly on quality control. The ability to match specific lighting conditions that customers use to display products or approve samples, is also imperative.
Pantone Light Booths are just the tools to make sure you see colors in the best possible light – literally! Light booths can be purchased in either a 5-light or 3-light configuration with either a D50 bulb option or a D65 bulb option.
Features
The Pantone light booth provides standardized, controlled lighting conditions that simulate multiple light sources, ensuring accurate color evaluation and consistent color matching. It minimizes metamerism, supports industry-standard illuminants, and delivers uniform illumination for reliable visual color assessment.
Application
It is used for precise color matching and quality control across printing, packaging, textiles, plastics, coatings, and product design, enabling accurate color approval under consistent lighting conditions before production.
