Reliable Colour Assessment with Sustainable LED Technology

Accurate and consistent colour assessment is essential in virtually every quality control environment. Whether testing textiles, plastics, coatings, paints, printing materials, packaging, cosmetics, ceramics, or leather, reliable and reproducible visual colour evaluation helps prevent colour deviations, rejected products, and costly disputes between manufacturers, suppliers, and end users.

Artec proudly introduces its new generation of ArtTest LED light booths for professional colour assessment: the ArtTest Art60(4) LED, Art60(6) LED, and Art120(6) LED.

Designed for laboratories, quality control departments, and manufacturing environments, these modern and energy-efficient LED light booths provide controlled lighting conditions for accurate visual colour comparison, colour matching and colour quality control according to international standards.

From Fluorescent to LED—Ready for the Future

With traditional fluorescent lighting being phased out under European regulations, the transition towards modern LED technology is becoming increasingly important for companies relying on controlled visual colour assessment.

The new ArtTest LED colour assessment cabinets provide a future-ready alternative to conventional fluorescent light booths. High-quality LED light sources provide several important advantages:

  • Lower energy consumption
  • Longer operating life compared with traditional fluorescent lamps
  • No warm-up time – stable lighting conditions immediately after switching on
  • Flicker-free illumination with minimal heat generation
  • Consistent and reliable visual colour assessment
  • Sustainable technology aligned with current European requirements

The ArtTest LED series therefore provides a future-proof solution for laboratories, R&D departments, quality control laboratories, and manufacturing facilities where reliable colour evaluation and reproducible colour comparison are essential.

Evaluate Colour Under the Right Lighting Conditions

Colour can appear significantly different under different types of illumination. For this reason, professional colour assessment should be performed under defined and reproducible lighting conditions.

ArtTest LED light booths allow products and materials to be visually evaluated under multiple standardised light sources, helping quality professionals identify metamerism, colour mismatch and unwanted colour variations at an early stage.

Depending on the selected ArtTest model, available illuminants include:

  • D65 – International standard daylight (6500 K)
  • TL84 – Store and retail lighting (4000 K)
  • CWF – Cool White Fluorescent simulation
  • TL83 – Warm white illumination
  • UV – Evaluation of optical brighteners and fluorescent materials
  • F – Domestic/artificial lighting simulation

This makes the ArtTest LED range suitable for professional colour assessment throughout international manufacturing, laboratory and quality assurance processes.

The Right LED Light Booth for Every Application

The new ArtTest LED colour assessment range consists of three models, allowing users to select the configuration and viewing area that best matches their application.

ArtTest Art60(4) LED
A compact four-light-source LED light booth for routine colour assessment, colour matching and laboratory quality control. An ideal choice for organisations looking for a reliable and cost-effective transition from traditional fluorescent lighting to modern LED technology.

ArtTest Art60(6) LED
An advanced six-light-source LED colour assessment cabinet for demanding quality control applications and international colour communication. The availability of multiple illuminants enables products to be evaluated under different lighting conditions within one controlled environment.

ArtTest Art120(6) LED
The larger six-light-source model, designed for larger samples, components, and materials requiring additional viewing space. It combines an increased assessment area with the accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility required for professional colour quality control.
