Products Frequently Ask Questions

Pantone light boxes are mainly used for standardized color viewing and color consistency verification across multiple industries to ensure accurate color evaluation under uniform light conditions. Core Application Industries like Textile & Garment Industry, Printing & Packaging Industry, Paint, Ink & Coating Industry, Plastic & Electronic Product Industry, Cosmetics & Food Industry


In a Pantone light box, the tubes last around 2000 to 3000 hours, after which the brightness and color should be assessed for replacement.

Yes. However, for LED retrofitting to meet industry standards, color- calibrated LED modules must be used for accurate color rendering. We usually do not recommend customers to modify it themselves, as this can affect the accuracy of the color and cause unnecessary losses


Colorimeters or spectrophotometers are used to measure liquid color. They measure light coming through or reflecting off the liquid. Readings can be reported as Lab*, RGB, or absorbance units. So that objective color analysis can be used to control quality, or to measure chemical concentration.

Always a pre-production sample before mass production; Always final Inspection before shipment; 

D65, TL84, A light, CWF, and UV are the most common standardized sources used for precise color matching.

The gloss meter is used to measure the gloss level: it is a device that directs the light at a fixed angle and reads the intensity of the reflected light. The angles, such as 60°, 20°, or 85°, are applied depending on the type of surface and the range of gloss.


For accurate results, install a clean and well temperature-regulated booth that is also sheltered from reflective surfaces and direct sunlight. Ambient light in the booth and the surrounding area from where the light is being viewed should not mix.


Readings of gloss meters in gloss units (GU) are used to measure shine on the surface. Low GU (0-10) is matte, 10-70 semi-gloss or satin, and above 70 is glossy. Measurement angle is given to the readings: 60° is the normal, 20° is the high gloss, and 85° is the low gloss.


Ambient light may affect the test results and must therefore be kept to a low level for accurate haze meter results.
