I found a great article in the July 2007 issue of Architectural Lighting magazine. The article is about daylight and glazing and is written by lighting icon James Benya. The author does a great job of defining and describing different type of glazing and their interaction with daylight. This is a must read if you are involved with any type of glazing specification.

The links to the article are below:

GE Lighting has a nice feature on their website, gelighting.com, that provides a good method of comparison for source color temperature. The color booth website (click here) provides various images that can be viewed side-by-side, and display scenes lighted with different color temperature sources.

Keep in mind when viewing these images, the actual color that would be perceived by the eye is very difficult to capture with a camera. Additionally, the color settings of the monitor or printer used to view these images may not be calibrated. The comparison method should be used to get an idea of differences between sources, not to actually measure how well a source may render a particular color.
