The best way to visualize how color will react in real world lighting conditions is to use a quality light booth. Traditional light booths contain common illuminants like daylight, incandescent, and fluorescent to replicate how color will look in the retail store and post-purchase in outdoor and home lighting. Today, the increased use of LED lamps in home, commercial, and retail environments is impacting decades of standardized lighting procedures.  

How LED is Changing the Game

LED lights have taken the market by storm over the last few years, largely due to their high efficiency and affordability. According to 2018 data from The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), which represents light bulb manufacturers, LED bulbs account for about 65% of the consumer lamp market, followed by halogen incandescent, which account for about 28% of the market. 

Many large retailers have already transitioned to LED bulbs to reap the benefits of lower maintenance and repair costs, less energy consumption, and longer lifespan. If your customers are switching, you might be thinking about adding an LED source to your light booth to support them.
