Gamut Index
Research into perception finds ready application in retail. Thanks to
the opto-electronic expertise matured by studying existing sources
and their characteristics, Artemide is able to identify and provide
the LED light source that ensures the correct balance between
the different variables that influence the end users’ perception. It
is therefore possible to evaluate a range of LED sources in terms of
Fidelity Index (Rf) and Gamut Index (Rg), and particularly in terms
of spectral quality in order to establish, working with customers
and in function of their needs, a light source that conveys colours,
materials and textures in a way that enriches the space around
them.
The spectral quality of the sources used in Artemide products
is such that the chromatic response of the illuminated objects is
particularly similar to reference sources, such as traditional warm
incandescent light or the more neutral sunlight. It is thus possible,
thanks to the use of such sources, to recreate different atmospheres,
such as the warm light once used, rich in red radiation, or the more
modern and balanced natural daylight, capable of making colours
more natural. This research investigates the nature of light and its
wavelength.
