With so many different LED options available, it can be tough picking out the right one for your lighting needs. That’s why each month our ‘LED Buying Guide’ brings you tips and tricks to help you make a better educated decision when purchasing your next LED bulbs and fixtures.
In the lighting industry, Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is a system that rates a light source’s accuracy to render an object’s true colour.
The CRI rating system is based on a 0 to 100 scale. This higher the CRI number, the richer the colour will appear. Differences in the CRI units can be detected by the eye is there is a difference of three or more CRI units.
When applying CRI to your next bulb purchase, keep in mind that bulbs with a CRI of 80 and above are considered to be good.
Stay tuned in the coming months as we continue to bring you more information and advice on LED lighting!
