Hey there!
I'm doing some experimental work at a microscope, where the lamp in use is stated to be
"Lamp bulb: 12 V DC, 100 W halogen lamp bulb (Osram HLX 64623 or Phillips 7724)."
I'm doing some calculations to analyse some of my images, and in there I need the intensity distribution of the lamp.
The color temperature of the lamp is stated as 3200k, and I can just plug that into a black-body distribution.
HOWEVER, how does the colortemperature of a halogen lamp change when the intensity changes? I operate the microscope at the lowest intensity it allows, so I guess the 3200k is no longer appropriate.
I know that a normal light bulb seems "warmer", when you turn down the power, but how does this translate to a halogen lamp?
Best Regards, and happy holidays! =)
