This research forum (RF) is related to CIE strategy top priority topic #2: “Colour Quality of Light Sources Related to Perception and Preference”. The RF will provide a discussion and information- and data-sharing platform to support the development of a comprehensive method that characterizes all colour rendition aspects of white-light sources and lighting systems for general lighting purposes. Topics to be addressed/discussed can include a literature review of existing methods to characterize the colour rendition properties of white-light sources with their advantages and limitations (TC 1-91); a review of CIE activities and publications: e.g. the use of 10-deg CMF instead of 2-deg CMF, CIE 2006 Colorimetry (TC 1-97), CIECAM16 (JTC 10), a new CCT definition (DR 1-67) and/or a new chromatic adaptation transform (JTC 16) and their impact on colorimetry and on the lighting community; and creating an overview of the desired colour rendition-related specification items (from a manufacturer, designer, specifier, and consumer’s point of view) for describing colour “quality” for a selected set of application areas and target groups.

This RF is open to all individuals with interest and expertise in this topic.
