Lighting color rendering (CRI) suited to the space
Color Rendering Index (CRI), also known as color rendition index, measures how accurately a light source reproduces the colors of objects. Typically expressed on a scale from 0 to 100, a higher CRI value indicates that the light accurately renders the true colors of objects.
Residential Spaces
For residential spaces, it's recommended to have high CRI lighting to create a comfortable and warm atmosphere, suitable for everyday activities and relaxation.
- Recommended CRI: 90 or higher (Minimum Required CRI: 80)
Business Environments
