As I said in another post, if b is negative this indicates that the 
colour of your light source is outside the sRGB colour space. There is 
nothing physically wrong with that, sRGB only represents a portion of 
the colours we can see. Your light source is 817nm which is well into 
infra-red, a camera will see it but humans will struggle - that's why 
your calculated rgb values are so tiny and negative.
