The '''spectral G-Index''' is a variable that was developed to quantify the amount of [[blue]] [[light]] in a [[List_of_light_sources|visible light source]]. It is weighted relative to the sensitivity of [[luminosity function|human color vision]], so blue light counts more strongly than [[violet]] or [[ultraviolet]] light.

The spectral G-Index is a variable that was developed to quantify the amount of short wavelength light in a visible light source. The smaller the G-index, the more blue, violet, or ultraviolet light a lamp emits.

Formula

The G-index is defined as follows:

where

  • G is the spectral G-index
  • λ is the wavelength in nanometers.
  • E is the radiant flux of the lamp
  • V(λ) is the luminosity function;
