What is Color Rendering?
Color rendering (CRI) is the ability of
a light source to represent colors in
objects, and is a relative measurement
which rates light sources on a scale of
0–100.The higher the CRI, the more
true colors appear (Good = 70–80 CRI,
Excellent = 80+CRI). High CRI is
essential in settings where it is important
that people appear natural and where
visual clarity is important.
