You don't want "natural" lighting if you want it to look like an incandescent. "Natural", ie "day" light is very blue. You specifically want a non-natural, warm color temperature.
- wlesieutre 10y agoFire is plenty natural. In architectural lighting, the reference spectrum depends on color temperature. Warm whites are measured against the black body spectrum, cool whites are measured against the daylight spectrum.
- lutorm 10y agoWhat do you mean? Daylight is very close to a blackbody.
- wlesieutre 10y agoClose but not quite, atmospheric effects block some portions. We use the CIE d-series illuminants as an approximation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant#Illuminant_series_D https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant#Illumina... That's done because it's very unusual to get a black body radiator that hot on Earth, so if you're talking about something on the cool white end odds are high it's daylight or trying to approximate it, not a tungsten filament or a campfire.
