Abstract
This paper describes the development of daylight simulators and various standards for specifying the quality of daylight simulators. The spectral power distributions of 15 D65 simulators and 58 D50 simulators were accumulated from UK and USA industrial laboratories, respectively. The lamp variations between the investigated simulators were examined in terms of colorimetric values and spectral results for different lamp types and manufacturers. The colorimetric results include luminance, chromaticity coordinates, chromaticity deviation relative to the CIE daylight illuminant, correlated colour temperature, colour rendering index and metamerism index for the visible range. The spectral results were calculated in terms of relative spectral power distributions and spread of relative power at each reported wavelength. Spectral analysis was conducted for the D65 and D50 broad‐band fluorescent lamps. The quality of these investigated simulators was evaluated based on the relevant CIE recommendation and ISO standards.
