CRI (Color Rendering Index)

The Color Rendering Index (CRI) measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects compared to natural daylight. It is rated from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better color accuracy. Lights with a high CRI (closer to 100) make colors appear more vivid and true to life, while lower CRI lights can cause colors to look dull or off. CRI is important in settings like art studios, retail stores, and healthcare, where accurate color perception is essential for quality, safety, and aesthetic reasons.
