Color-accurate lighting

For the graphic arts!

Good lighting is just as important to a high-quality printing job as the right kind of paper or ink. If the light is wrong, the color will be wrong too. But if everyone involved in the creative process views transparencies, reflective art, match prints and press proofs under the same light, they'll see the same color tones.

That's why the American National Standards Institute (A.N.S.I.) has adopted a standard calling for one kind of light to be used for all Color Quality Appraisal and Color Uniformity Appraisal work throughout the graphics arts and printing industries.

Briefly stated, the standard specifies a fluorescent light source with a Color Temperature of 5000K—with a CRI of 90 or higher, and providing at least 2200 lumens from a four-foot tube.

H&H's Vi-Tek 93^® Plus fluorescent, with a lumen output of 3210, more than meets that standard. Using our Vi-Tek 93^® Plus lamps in your color viewing stations assures consistent, accurate color evaluation. Using Vi-Tek 93^® Plus throughout your print shop transforms your entire facility into a complete color-matching area.

As a graphic arts professional, the last thing you need are costly "do-overs"—jobs that are rejected because of poor color quality. With H&H's Vi-Tek 93^® Plus, you're not just buying a light bulb. You're making an investment that will improve your business by helping you to produce top quality printing—the first time, every time.

Also for the graphic arts!

Vi-Tek 93^® Plus Fluorescents

It has long been known that full-spectrum natural outdoor light is the best light to see and work under. H&H's Vi-Tek 93^® Plus offers the closest simulation of natural daylight available in an artificial light source. At 5500K and with a high CRI of 93, Vi-Tek 93^® Plus provides superior color rendition and even makes people feel and work better—with maximum eye comfort and less fatigue. Vi-Tek 93^® Plus also blends beautifully with window light for perfect color uniformity throughout the shop.

Powr-Tek^® Fluorescents

H&H's Powr-Tek fluorescents come so remarkably close to meeting the A.N.S.I. standard that even trained eyes can't tell the difference. Powr-Tek delivers an unbeatable combination of daylight quality (5000K)...high light output (3850 lumens from a 40W T10)...superior color rendering (89 CRI)...and long lamp life (up to 48,000 hours). They're a perfect choice for overhead lighting throughout your facilities. Powr-Tek lamps are so good, in fact, that when energy savings are a priority, you can install just two lamps in place of the four standard lamps you are now using.

Photo Gold Fluorescents

In the plate-making room, our Photo Gold fluorescent tubes protect against the accidental exposure of light-sensitive printing plates. Unlike most competitive products, H&H Photo Gold lamps are double-coated with special UV-blocking phosphors, so they don't leak light that can damage expensive plates.

Incandescent Lamps

H&H offers a wide array of long-life incandescent bulbs for almost any general lighting application. Included is the exclusive 12,000-hour Super V line as well as spots and floods, energy savers, rough service and vibration lamps, and even a 40-watt Red for your darkroom.

LED-Ultramaster Exit Sign Lamp
