The '''Lux comma''', or '''luxima''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] comma with a ratio of '''256000/255879''', and a size of approximately 0.82 [[cent]]s.  It is significant in that it is the interval separating a stack of two [[81/80|meantone commas]] from [[40/39]].  Tempering it out thus splits 40/39 into two equal halves, each representing 81/80,  leads to a form of '''lux temperament'''.  The name was chosen by [[User:Aura|Aura]] partly on inspiration from [[User:Godtone|Godtone]]'s idea of using "luxal" for 13-limit intervals and partially for the sake of referencing light in general.
