ColoR MeTRICs

The diagrams below show, histogram, spectral power distribution and chip chart images gathered with a standard 
Silk LED  at the 3200K and 5600K set points.

These metrics are typical of a Silk LED fixture,  but individual units may vary within manufacturing tolerance. It 
is the user’s responsibility, as is customary and standard practice, to shoot image capture tests when combining 
sources using different core technology such as HMI, fluorescent, tungsten or RGB LED fixtures to ensure 
compatibility.
