To improve colour identification, Spies Hecker is offering refinishers a new daylight lamp with LED technology. By simulating different light conditions and light intensities, the new lamp can help refinishers identify deviations in colour matching for solid and effect paints.

ColorSpot can be used for almost anything, from colour comparison with colour swatches and sample panels to damage assessment and checking freshly painted surfaces for dust specs. Kevin Welling, Training Academy Manager for Axalta Coating Systems says, “ColorSpot provides refinishers with a tool that will reveal even the slightest hint of metamerism or effect differences.”

The intensity of the energy-saving LEDs can be set to three different levels. Light level 1 makes it possible to compare light solid and effect colours accurately. Light level 2 is suitable for medium to light and mid-toned effect colours. And for darker effect colours, light level 3 shows the nuances helping to achieve an optimal colour and effect match. 

Kevin comments, “In addition to bright daylight, you can set the lamp to a warmer, but still white, evening light. Equipped with this tool, refinishers will be able to identify colour differences, quickly and reliably.”

A powerful battery ensures the cordless lamp can be used for long periods. The battery can be charged on its base station. Kevin says, “Due to the low energy consumption of the LEDs, the battery can handle a long day’s work. Thanks to its minimal weight and ergonomic shape, ColorSpot is comfortable to handle and will support refinishers’ work.”
