Color Rendering and RealTime’s Induction Lighting
Some people find the color rendition produced by some fluorescent lamps to be harsh and displeasing. RealTime lamps have a CRI of 80 or more depending on the model and color temperature. When the color temperatures of the RealTime induction lamps are in the range of 4100k, the color rendering index (CRI) is above 90. This high CRI makes objects look bright, clear and natural under the RealTime lamp. RealTime induction lamps can be ordered with varying color temperatures of 4100k, 5000k or 6500k.
The higher the CRI of a lamp, the higher the “quality” of the light produced and thus the better the reproduction of colors under that lamp. The best possible rendering of color is specified by a CRI of one hundred.
CRI is a method devised by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) to measure the ability of a light source to reproduce the colors of various objects being lit by the Light.
The color temperature of a light source is measured in degrees Kelvin. Light sources with temperatures below 3000 K appear “warm” [have a more red/orange look] while light sources above 7500 K appear “cold” as they contain more blue. 6500 K is the D65 European standard for “daylight” thus a lamp with a color temperature of 6500K would be considered a daylight lamp in
