CCT is actually bumped down significantly compared to sunlight. When the moon is highest in the sky it reaches a max CCT of about 4100k, compared to 5800k for highest possible CCT from direct sunlight.Hi guys,
How about another tangent. I have been meaning to see if I could capture moonlight with my spectrometer and see how it compares to sunlight. My gut tells me that the CCT would be higher but so much depends on the spectral reflectivity of the moon itself and I have no idea what that might be. I assume that IR and UV for the most part are not reflected by the moon but within the visible spectrum, are there some anomalies?
This is easy to check if you can see the moon and a metal halide or mercury vapor street lamp simultaneously (HID vehicle headlights or a 5A binned Cree LED will also work..) -- apparent CCT is basically exactly same.
