FAQs About TS8560 Benchtop Spectrophotometers

When detecting color differences, the first factors to consider when selecting a light source include its stability, directionality, lifespan, and the effectiveness of the ultimately obtained spectral curve. The illuminant of a colorimeter is a fixed bulb, such as a tungsten lamp，LED light or a long-life xenon lamp. However, for the same color sample, the results displayed by the instrument vary under different light sources. This is because different light sources cause different absorption and reflection of light on the sample, leading to differences in how both the human eye and the instrument perceive the color. 

In general, the D65 light source is used in the application of coil steel inks for construction. The D65 light source is equivalent to average daylight. Most coil steel inks for construction are used outdoors, and sunlight is regarded as the standard light source in outdoor environments. For household appliance coil steel inks, due to their usage characteristics, they are mostly used indoors. Therefore, the A standard light source is adopted for color measurement of samples based on indoor lighting conditions. The A light source is a carefully specified tungsten light source. Other light sources, such as fluorescent light sources, can be used in many types of applications. For example, some textile factories use fluorescent light sources. Therefore, a reasonable light source should be selected as the mutually recognized measurement method based on actual usage conditions and user requirements. Once agreed upon by both parties, color measurement must be conducted under the same conditions. This helps reduce unnecessary systematic errors and human errors, achieving the optimal consistency in color measurement. 

The 3nh high-precision spectrophotometric colorimeter adopts a combined LED light source with long lifespan and low power consumption, which includes UV (ultraviolet) and UV-excluded options. This design can meet the color difference detection needs of different users and supports the selection of multiple light source modes.

For professional paint matching (decorative, automotive, industrial, metallic/pearlescent), these are the top-performing spectrophotometers from 3nh — optimized for formulation, batch consistency, metamerism control, and field/shop matching:

  • d/8°, SCI/SCE, UV adjustable

  • Interchangeable apertures (Φ4/8mm)

  • Bluetooth + USB

  • Best for: General paint store matching, routine QC

Short Best Recommendations

  • Lab formulation / R&D: 3nh YS6060

  • Portable on-site / paint store: 3nh TS7700

  • Metallic / pearlescent paint: 3nh MS3008

  • Entry-level portable: 3nh YS3010


All deliver stable spectral data, minimal metamerism, and perfect batch-to-batch consistency — critical for paint matching.
