When detecting color differences, the first factors to consider when selecting a light source include its stability, directionality, lifespan, and the effectiveness of the ultimately obtained spectral curve. The illuminant of a colorimeter is a fixed bulb, such as a tungsten lamp，LED light or a long-life xenon lamp. However, for the same color sample, the results displayed by the instrument vary under different light sources. This is because different light sources cause different absorption and reflection of light on the sample, leading to differences in how both the human eye and the instrument perceive the color. 

In general, the D65 light source is used in the application of coil steel inks for construction. The D65 light source is equivalent to average daylight. Most coil steel inks for construction are used outdoors, and sunlight is regarded as the standard light source in outdoor environments. For household appliance coil steel inks, due to their usage characteristics, they are mostly used indoors. Therefore, the A standard light source is adopted for color measurement of samples based on indoor lighting conditions. The A light source is a carefully specified tungsten light source. Other light sources, such as fluorescent light sources, can be used in many types of applications. For example, some textile factories use fluorescent light sources. Therefore, a reasonable light source should be selected as the mutually recognized measurement method based on actual usage conditions and user requirements. Once agreed upon by both parties, color measurement must be conducted under the same conditions. This helps reduce unnecessary systematic errors and human errors, achieving the optimal consistency in color measurement. 

The 3nh high-precision spectrophotometric colorimeter adopts a combined LED light source with long lifespan and low power consumption, which includes UV (ultraviolet) and UV-excluded options. This design can meet the color difference detection needs of different users and supports the selection of multiple light source modes.

Colorimeters have fixed wavelength filters and LEDs; it is less precise and simpler. Monochromators are applied to spectrophotometers, which scan a spectrum of wavelengths. Giving more detailed spectral information. Spectrophotometers are more sensitive and flexible in complicated analyses.

Standard models are available in a range of sizes, starting from small desktop units which are roughly the size of 60 x 40 x 40 cm, and extending to larger units which are about 120 x 60 x 80 cm based on what you need them for.

To take care of a haze meter to make it last longer, ensure that it is cleaned, recalibrated regularly, and stored in a dry, dust-free place. 

Because of its unmatched precision, ease of use, adherence to global standards, and consistent long-term reliability.

Readings of gloss meters in gloss units (GU) are used to measure shine on the surface. Low GU (0-10) is matte, 10-70 semi-gloss or satin, and above 70 is glossy. Measurement angle is given to the readings: 60° is the normal, 20° is the high gloss, and 85° is the low gloss.

To determine haze, haze meters are used in multiple industries such as plastic, glass, film, coating, and displays. This ensures that all optical quality of the product is in the appropriate specification, including aesthetic compliance and meeting the intercontinental quality standards.

Compared to an analog model, digital gauges not only provide more accuracy, but also allow for greater repeatability and are easier to work with. Advanced digital gauges allow for features such as data storage and automatic calibration and statistical analysis. For these reasons, digital gauges are the preferred choice for professional applications.

Inaccurate color rendering, mismatched results, and noncompliance with ISO 3664 or ASTM D1729 can occur when there are deviations.

The Colour Assessment Cabinet (CAC) is a controlled environment used for the visual evaluation of color wherein the light sources are consistent.
