Abstract: A system for generating a colored light comprises a set of illuminant types and a processor. The set of illuminant types is associated with a chromaticity gamut, and the set of illuminant types comprises at least five illuminant types that are each associated with an illuminant type hue angle. The processor is configured to determine, based at least in part on a mapping, a sequence of one or more output level sets that are associated with changing a first generated colored light associated with a first color coordinate to a second generated colored light associated with a second color coordinate. The mapping comprises associating each color coordinate with an output level set that uses a set of hue-adjacent illuminant types. Hue-adjacent illuminant types comprise a group of illuminant types that are determined to be adjacent in a circular ordered list of illuminant types which is circularly ordered according to the illuminant type hue angle.

Abstract: At first, a sample for obtaining light measurement data is set to obtain reflectances. After setting an arbitrary wavelength λi, a principal component analysis is executed to obtain an eigenvalue 1 and an eigenvector b. Then a basic equation for reflectance is determined by deriving a coefficient k, utilizing a known reflectance of an object of which reflectance is to be estimated. Thereafter a process of deriving a reflectance at an arbitrary displacement angle is executed for all the wavelengths, for example over a visible wavelength range. In this manner, the reflectance of an object at an arbitrary displacement angle can easily be obtained by utilizing the basic equation for the reflectance derived from the eigenvector obtained from the principal component analysis of the measured data.

The device is equipped with a housing, an optical measuring base unit and preferably a source of radiation for emitting radiation at a predetermined angle onto a measurement surface, as well as a detecting means for detecting the radiation reflected from said measurement surface. An elastic retaining means serves to elastically support the optical measuring base unit in the housing such that a touchdown surface for setting down said optical measuring base unit on the measurement surface is disposed external the housing and assumes a predetermined stressed position relative the housing in the unpositioned state.
