Lighting conditions inside a bodyshop are rarely ideal and we cannot control the seasonsor the weather! Fixed lighting and unpredictable weather conditions make precisedecisions difficult.
No matter where the vehicle is in thebodyshop, the 3M™ PPS™ Colour CheckLight provides near perfect daylightconditions every day of the year!
Daylight is characterized by a full andeven light spectrum, without spikes,across the visible colour range. Daylightwith its full and even spectrum is thebest light source for viewing colours. Foran artificial light source to mimicdaylight properly, it must have a lightspectrum very close to daylight,otherwise it will affect the accuracy ofcolour judgement.
Lights used in bodyshops can have anuneven spectrum and colours willtherefore look different.
The 3M™ PPS™ Colour Check Light hasa spectrum virtually identical to daylightand therefore colours look the same as indaylight.
