CIE illuminants
The International Commission on Illumination (usually abbreviated
CIE for its French name) is the body responsible for publishing all
of the well-known standard illuminants. Each of these is known by a
letter or by a letter-number combination.
Illuminants A, B, and C were introduced in 1931, with the intention of respectively representing average incandescent light, direct sunlight, and average daylight. Illuminants D represent phases of daylight, Illuminant E is the equal-energy illuminant, while Illuminants F represent fluorescent lamps of various composition.
There are instructions on how to experimentally produce light sources ("standard sources") corresponding to the older illuminants. For the relatively newer ones (such as series D), experimenters are left to measure to profiles of their sources and compare them to the published spectra:
At present no artificial source is recommended to realize CIE standard illuminant D65 or any other illuminant D of different CCT. It is hoped that new developments in light sources and filters will eventually offer sufficient basis for a CIE recommendation.

Nevertheless, they do provide a measure, called the Metamerism
Index, to assess the quality of daylight simulators. The Metamerism
Index tests how well five sets of metameric samples match under the
test and reference illuminant. In a manner similar to the color
rendering index, the average difference between the metamers is
calculated.
