Experience True Colours with High CRI Lighting
CRI is a measure of how complete and accurate the colour spectrum is in a beam of white light, and how well colours will be represented when illuminated by that light. The higher the CRI the better.
LED lights typically found in big box stores typically have a CRI of around 80 or sometimes 90.
A CRI above 90 is considered the minimum for use in an application where accurate colour rendering is a required, such as in art galleries, museums or retail apparel displays.
So if it’s important to you that all the colours in your art, furniture, retail displays etc. be vibrant and fully visible, then you want the highest CRI possible … Continue reading

The “colour temperature” of any white light indicates the shade of white.
Very Warm White – Warm White – Soft White – Natural Soft White – Natural White – Pure White – Cool White
(actual colour may vary due to screen settings, best to see in-person)
“Warm white” generally means a yellow-ish type of white, and “cool white” means a blue-ish kind of white. Somewhere in between lies “daylight white”, which is pretty much the whitest kind of white. Cool, warm and daylight are pretty imprecise terms though. A more accurate system indicating the tint of the light is called the colour temperature, or Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT).
A standard incandescent lightbulb is rather yellowish at about 2,700K and a normal halogen is slightly “cooler/whiter” in color, about 3,000K.
For interior lighting in homes, especially in the Western world we have grown accustomed to incandescent and halogen lighting, so we have a comfort with the “warm” colours they produce.
In more industrial settings, and for higher intensity lighting ie. “high bay” lighting, higher color temperatures of 4,500 to 5,000K are accepted. Metal Halide lights (HID) have traditionally been employed for this application, but of course LEDs are now available to do this job more efficiently.
Some specialty applications such as jewelery case lighting often use “cool” bluish lights of 6,500K or higher, in order to accentuate the sparkle and clarity of diamonds, silver and jewels.
Integrated Track Heads are mainly 3000K (as it’s the most popular CCT).
2700K is similar to the color of a regular incandescent or halogen light, which looks a little yellow or “warm”. 3000K is a little bit more white, but is still in the “warm” range. 4000K is approaching sunlight colour temperatures, but still a bit on the warm side. …Continue reading
