V (mired)
B-R conversion values
For color photography, the Japanese Industrial Standards JIS B 7125, ″Photographic Light-Balancing Glass Filters″, specify the values for general photographic lighting.
The B-R conversion values of filters are calculated by the formula as follows:

     V = 221 ( Log 10 Tr - Log 10 Tb ) mired

* Tr : The average value (%) of transmittances of the filter at 610 nm, 635 nm, and 655 nm of wavelengths
* Tb : The average value (%) of transmittances of the filter at 405 nm, 435 nm, and 465 nm of wavelengths.

color temperature after filtering and B-R conversion values
