This is still the best plot I've seen and I wanted to thank you for it.

The y-axis appears to be a true energy plot and not a derivative as in irradiance. The truth is I don't understand irradiance and why it is used. Does this graph mention irradiance? [My grandmother was German but I did not learn the language].

In regards to getting hard data on our eye's color cone limits, I am still here..... ](*,)
