Values represent the mean difference and 95% credibility intervals of the difference (values in parentheses) in % λ0.5 range stimulated by each lamp type. Values are derived from the pairwise comparison outputs from Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations performed between factor levels going across the table subtracted from factor levels going down the table. Where values in parentheses do not bound zero there is a 95% probability that the two factor levels are different (underlined results).
