Abstract
Optimal three band Gaussian spectra were determined with an additional condition on the nonvisual biological action of the spectra. With this new condition the best possible trade off between the general color rendering index (CRI) and the luminous efficiency was found. The results show that in order to keep a biological effect of a light source equal to that of Planckian light source an additional restriction on the luminous efficiency for the given CRI arises.
