💡 Overview
The Color Assessment Cabinet or Color Light Box provides a controlled lighting environment for accurate visual evaluation of color consistency and appearance. It eliminates color variation caused by different light sources, allowing reliable color comparison between samples, batches, or products.
This equipment is essential for industries where precise color control and quality assurance are critical — from textiles and plastics to paints, inks, and packaging materials.
Available in 4, 5, or 6 light source configurations, our cabinets meet international color matching and visual assessment standards.

❓ FAQs
Q1: What is the purpose of multiple light sources?
Different industries use different standard illuminants. Multiple sources help you evaluate color consistency under various lighting conditions to prevent metamerism.
Q2: How often should I replace the lamps?
Typically after 2,000 hours of use or when noticeable color shift occurs.
Q3: Can I add extra light sources later?
Yes, the cabinet supports upgrades to 5 or 6 light sources depending on the model.
Q4: Does it require calibration?
No special calibration is needed, but regular lamp replacement ensures accurate results.
Q5: Do you provide after-sales support?
Yes, we provide installation guidance, maintenance support, and replacement parts.
