The color viewing box is a simulation tool, which is mainly used in quality control. The color viewing box accurately corrects light types and thus allows direct comparison of products that must have special color characteristics. The color viewing box supports six possible lighting types. These colors are supplied as standard: "A/F", "D65", "TL84/F11", "UV", "CWF" and "TL83/U30".

Metamerism can be prevented by the use of a color viewing box. An hour counter is installed in the color viewing box, which, in addition to the hours, also allows the general use of the respective illuminant. This makes it easier to stick to the recommended running time of the lamps. The type of light required can be selected on the switchboard of the color viewing box. In addition to the single unit, it is also possible to switch to mixed light by simultaneously pressing the required buttons on the switching bar.
