What is Colour Rendering Index?
Colour rendering index (CRI) is a widely used measurement for describing how “accurately” a light source can visually reproduce the colour of an object (compared to a reference light source). This has become more important, as new light sources such as LEDs are more commonly being used in home and commercial environments.
CRI uses 15 standard colours and an average value (Ra) to express the performance of a lightsource for the accurate appearance of the 15 standard colours.
