Abstract

In this contribution, the colour quality of lighting was evaluated with 21 typical objective colour quality metrics. A large dataset of 591 light sources was established. This database includes different kinds of sources including incandescent lamps, LEDs, fluorescent lamps, high intensity lamps as well as theoretical lights. A multidimensional scaling analysis method was adopted to reduce the dimensionality of colour quality evaluation, by which 6 typical measures were obtained for the final assessment. At last, the overall performance of the 591 light sources was comprehensively analyzed, together with a deep discussion on the colour quality of 14 typical sources for gallery lighting in China.
