Okay – Suitable for area or security lighting.
Good – Acceptable for most uses, providing good color rendering with an optimal balance of light quality and power efficiency.
Excellent – Ideal for art galleries, photography studios, commercial spaces, and grocery stores (especially for produce).
Perfect – Equivalent to sunlight and incandescent lights.
CRI is tested using 15 color samples. We use a Light Integrating Sphere to measure color accuracy by comparing the LED light to a black body, which has a perfect CRI. The first 8 R values are typically averaged for standard CRI evaluations.

Power supplies are crucial components for powering LED strip lights, available in two main types: dimmable and non-dimmable. Dimmable power supplies enable the dimming of the strip lights using an AC dimmer control. Non-dimmable power supplies are compatible with DC controls. It is essential to ensure all system components operate at the same voltage when designing your strip light system.
Standard CRI (80+) is suitable for most uses. High CRI (90+) offers superior color accuracy, essential for specific applications, though it generally costs more and uses more energy. Some states require high CRI lighting for new installations.
CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light source reveals colors compared to natural sunlight, with a scale from 0 to 100.
