| Color
temperature
describes configurations of a continuous
spectrum
of light, and is therefore suitable for describing light produced by heat and the
incandescence
of a filament such as the tungsten-halogen lamp, which emits light at a
color temperature
of between 3000O K and 3400O K at full production . |
However, the color of light produced by non-incandescent light sources such as discharge or fluorescent lamps is characterized by a non-continuous
spectrum
consisting of spectral lines. |
