White light from different sources is different, It's called color temperature, the light that we see from the sun also changes depending on it's angle so defining what color natural light is is quite hard.

That's what I was asking.
I wonder if, in terms of physics, that light has the same properties as the clear light derived from ordinary sunlight or if it constitutes some "lite" version of that light. I was wanting to know if there was a special technical term for this light (and whether it had any special uses).

I'm a bit confused about this "edge" concept, as I had never heard of it before.
