DLS Color Companion multiLight

Specifications

The DLS Color Companion is the flexible, large-format solution for colour matching and quality assurance in the industrial sector.

The optimized control system enables much easier LED-based assessment. In addition to the illuminants D50, D65 and UV-A, two specific illuminants can be added to the DLS Color Companion, according to customer's needs. Furthermore, the UV content can be turned ON/OFF and stored proofing settings can be easely switched on or off at the touch of a button.

High performance LED-based viewing light with:

unmatched light distribution
high uniformity and optimal spectral characteristics
shadow- and glare-free CAD-based prismatic diffuser
