1.What does the CRI mean?
Color Rendering Index (CRI) is the measurement of how color looks under a light source when compared with sunlight. The index is measured from 0-100, with a perfect 100 indicating that colors under the light source appear the same as they would under natural sunlight.If you can't recognize the black and dark grey shirt, it could be caused by the poor CRI of the light source in your room.
2.So How to choose the CRI in the led lights？
- Lights with a CRI >80 are considered to be more than acceptable for most applications.
- Lights with a CRI>90 is generally considered “High CRI” lights.These lights have important applications especially for photography, retail display and grocery lighting, where accurate color presentation is key. High CRI lighting is equally valuable in home use, as it can transform a room by highlighting design details and creating a comfortable, natural overall feel.
