Question: Calibration light source

jimbob is asking a question about spectrometer-calibration: Follow this topic

Instructions for the Papercraft spectrometer say to use a CFL for calibration. Does it matter what color temperature the bulb is? I see no mention of that.

It shouldn't make a difference -- the base mercury spectrum should be visible in both! Tell us how it goes!
