what is the color temperature of a tungsten lamp?
The above is not a true Color Temperature chart. Instead it is a hybrid, showing the color temperatures of light sources most commonly encountered in professional imaging. In our scale, tungsten-halogen has a color temperature of 3200Â°K. Household fluorescents are accepted to be around 4500Â°K, depending on the lamp. (They are shown for reference, but would not be part of a true Color Temperature chart, for reasons described below).
