What is the Difference Between Type I and Type II Daylight Filters

October 4, 2021 | Dr. Florian Feil

Standards

Some years ago, Atlas was able to develop a daylight filter system for xenon-arc weathering with a much closer fit to natural solar radiation than any other filter system on the market. We called it the Right Light™ filter. This filter system was first implemented in standardization in the ASTM D7869 method for transportation coatings.
