Trophy Case Duv Lighting Check: Eliminating Green and Magenta Tint from School Award Displays
Intent: research — a trophy case Duv lighting check measures whether LED fixtures in a school award display are producing a green or magenta tint that distorts how jerseys, banners, gold finishes, and award certificates appear to visitors. Duv (delta-uv) is the metric that quantifies tint on the green–magenta axis, and it captures a dimension of color quality that CCT labels, CRI scores, and even TM-30 Rf values do not directly surface. Fixtures can carry identical 3000K ratings and near-identical Rf scores while producing visibly different tint — and that difference shows up on every white plaque face, every certificate background, and every athlete portrait mounted in the case.

Read MoreTrophy Case Labels for Schools: How to Add Context Before Awards Get Forgotten
A trophy with no label is a mystery. A trophy with a bad label—misspelled name, wrong year, no sport listed—is almost worse. Schools spend hundreds of dollars on engraved hardware every season, then watch that investment fade into the background of a hallway case where nobody can tell what the award was for, who won it, or why it mattered. Trophy case labels are the connective tissue between the physical object and the story it’s supposed to tell.
