Standard Wuminants for Colorimetry. The C.L.E, makes a distinction between illuminant and source. Source refers to a physical emitter of light, such as a lamp or the sun and sky. _Illuminant refers to a specific spectral power distribution, hot necessarily provided directly by a source. The definitions of the standard sources are considered secondary, as it is conceivable that new developments in lamps 4 fltere will bring about improved standard sources that represent the standard HMuminants more accurately. STANDARD TLLUMINANT 4 is the spectral power dis- tribution from a full (planckian, blackbody) radiator at 2858.7 K (PTS, 1968, ¢; = 0.014388 m-K). staxparD sovnce 4 is a gas-filled, coiled-coil tungsten- lament lamp operating at a correlated color temperature ot 2390.9 K. A lamp with a fused-quartz envelope or window is recommended if the spectral power dis- tribution of illuminant A must be closely approximated in the ultraviolet. No Tecommendation has been made for a standard source representing standard illuminant D, STANDARD SOURCES 8 AND C and their spectral power distributions are omitted here peeause the sources are ulsvlcie aud their distributions aro obsoleecent ‘These sources, distributions, and colorimetric computation data based on them were pub- lished in the first and second editions of this Handbook (Tables 6-4, 6)-5, and 6)-6). Fur general use in colorimetry, illuminants A and Duce given in the new table 6)-2 should suffice. STANDARD ILLUMINANT Dasco Fepresents a phase of daylight with a correlated color temperature of approvinietaly A504 K. (The odd 4 K resulted from the change of the International Practical Temperature Seale, made by the Comité International des Poids et Mesures (CIPM) in 1908, after all details of illuminant Dass had been adopted by the C.LE., which had used the value of cy = 0.014380 m - K promulgated by the CIPM in 1960.) OnHER ILLUwiNaNTs p: Whenever a phase of daylight other than Dass is desired, the following rules may be used to define it: 1. Chromaticity. ‘The C.1.E. 1931 z, y chromaticity coordinates of the daylight to be defined must satisfy yo = ~3zo' + 2.87zp — 0.275 and 0.25 < zo < 0.38. +: 1,725 times scotopic luminosities given io 6-184 OPTICS Scororic Luaunosity Daza* Taste 6j-1.
