Hi Tom,
I didn't want to hijack that thread but I would like to learn more about what you've stated.
Everything I've read about the Kelvin temp of bulbs points to what I stated in that Actinic thread.
If I'm wrong I would like clarification so that I don't state inaccuracies in the future.
Please explain why these are incorrect. I appreciate the time.
1 - It is my understanding that no matter how hot you get a black body it will not produce light as energetic as 420 nm. Therefore, I believe that 420nm does not have a Kelvin temp rating.
2 - Everything I've read has stated that the Kelvin Color scale has a maximum of 20,000K and this is in the blue range.
3 - I've read that 320 - 400nm is in the UV-A range and is invisible to the human eye.
