Visual assessment of color samples remains the final step in many color workflows. Customers make decisions based on what they see. Instruments measure—human assessment judges.
That's why standardized conditions are essential: consistent light sources, a neutral environment, and a controlled viewing angle. VeriVide light cabinets provide all this in one solution.
Why LED?
Traditional fluorescent tubes require annual replacement, degrade over time, and are increasingly difficult to source. VeriVide has fully transitioned to LED technology:
- No annual replacement — LED sources remain stable
- Consistent color rendering — no spectral drift
- Programmable sources — one click switches D65 to TL84 or Store
- Energy efficient — lower operating costs
- Future-proof — no manufacturer dependence for tubes
UltraView — The standard on the work floor
UltraView is VeriVide's standard light cabinet for visual color assessment. Fully LED, programmable, and compliant with international norms.
