Abstract
Uncertainties in the distribution temperature (DT) and correlated colour temperature are estimated for common sources and typical measurement uncertainties of a spectral transfer from a reference lamp. Uncertainty sensitivity coefficients for both parameters in terms of measured values of spectral irradiance are derived using a generalized matrix inverse. The uncertainty values are compared with differences in the source temperature parameters. DT is calculated using the CIE definition; shifts in DT due to the alternative of a direct fit of Planck's distribution, and to including weights in the process, are compared with the estimated uncertainties.
