The Duv value of a light source expresses

  • A.how far the source sits from the Planckian locus
  • B.how much ultraviolet the source puts out in total
  • C.the difference between two colour rendering indices
  • D.the drift of the source colour over its life

Answer: A

Correct answer: how far the source sits from the Planckian locus

Duv is the signed distance from the locus, positive towards green and negative towards pink. Together with the correlated colour temperature it fixes the chromaticity, which the temperature alone cannot do - and a Duv large enough to be noticed makes a lamp look tinted however respectable its colour temperature.
