Object detection is one of the most significant visual tasks in a road. So, artificial, lighting used in a road have a greater importance in visual task performance. In this, paper an attempt is made to simulate the road lighting situation for measuring the, ability of road users to detect object under different color temperature (CCT) of the light, source. The effect of color temperature of peripheral source on object detection is, investigated in this work with 20 neurologically and physiologically healthy subjects., The experiment was repeated with two types of lighting situations under four different, color temperature (CCT) of the light source. The reaction/response time data along, with object color perception under different lighting condition are recorded for further, analysis. Finally, it has been found that the color temperature of light source has an, influence on the response time of the user
