The Lighting Toolbox contains various reference spectra provided by the Commission International d’Éclairage (CIE – International Commission on Illumination). The reference data is sourced from the CIE and permission to use the data in the Lighting Toolbox was granted. Any errors in the data set or in results generated with the Lighting Toolbox are not in the liability of the CIE nor me, see licence.

LightingToolbox setup:

• Start Matlab
• Add the Lighting Toolbox to Matlab's search path:
• Type: addpath(‘PATH_TO_LIGHTING_TOOLBOX\functions’) in the command window
• Or click “Set Path” button under Matlab HOME tab -> “Add Folder…” -> select folder -> confirm -> “Save”
• Test the Lighting Toolbox functionality:
• Type: plotciexy in the command window
