Mercury lamp phosphor types
|
Here is a comparison of mercury lamp types/colours that I made a while ago from mostly other people's pictures as I don't own all these types. Obviously, it is impossible to render a digital camera image exactly like the light from a lamp, but this is as close as I could get as I HAVE seen all these lamp types in operation in person, except the Osram SuperDeluxe (which I have heard is very similar to the old US "/N" lamps - and almost identical to an incandescent lamp), the "/X", which, although purple-coated, looks almost the same as a /DX when lit (it's a /C with the addition of the purple coating to strengthen the red output), and the Beauty-Lite, which also looks very similar to the /DX, but with higher CRI.
