Short summary
Here, we present the lighting setting implemented in the new Luminescence Dating Research Laboratory at Stony Brook University, USA. First, we performed spectral measurements on different light sources and filters. Then, we measured the loss of dose in quartz and feldspar samples when exposed to various light sources and durations. Finally, we conclude that our lighting setting is suitable for a luminescence darkroom laboratory; it is simple, inexpensive to build, and durable.
