Ok, re read my stuff, between painting rooms.. I made a mistake, yes I know.. imigian that, not that it happens a lot but yes even I can make a mistake.

the meters do not over estamate actinic, the under estimate actinic and overestimate the higher end. in a rounded out bulb this will all work out in the pudding (6500K ish) but in a actinic bulb it will give you a lower reeding than you should have and in a 3000K bulb it will give you a higher reeding than you should have.

reasons are due to the spectral responce of the meters to the wave lengths, and to get a unit that reeds good all over you need to spend over 1000.00 bucks.

anyways sorry if there was any confusion Mr Canadian.

Steve
