If I am reading the graphs right, except for the very top there is no blue lights. From the guy with his eye on the sky. (talk) 06:41, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Presumably the top is gold? 173.245.52.211 07:47, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Also the spike in the near IR of the large graph is likely to be a mercury line. I think fires would have a smoother curve of a black body. 199.27.128.122 06:47, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Could someone make a coloured version?Guru-45 (talk) 07:22, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Also the light at the top of the tree seems to be emitting in the UV range. Perhaps it’s supposed to be a fluorescent lamp? 108.162.245.7 07:30, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm thinking it's a "white" LED. 108.162.216.56 07:50, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

I think the one at the top matches the profile of a star... 141.101.99.211 08:18, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

The spike is not in the "near" infrared, this is water and/or carbondioxide line.
