COLOUR RENDERING
"The colour rendering of a light source is an indicator of its ability to realistically reproduce the colour of an object.
"
The effect of a light source on the perceived colour appearance to the human eye is expressed in the colour rendering index. Commonly known as CRI, it is based on a scale of 0-100 with the top value of 100 based on illumination by a 100W incandescent bulb. The first digit in Illuma’s colour temp. ref. indicates the CRI, with the last two digits representing colour temp eg: /930 would have a CRI of 90+ with a colour temperature of 3000k.
COLOUR TEMPERATURES
The colour temperature corresponds to the light colour of a light source and is measured in Kelvin (k). The higher the colour temperature, the cooler and bluer a white light source will look, the lower it is, the warmer it will appear.
2700k - Extra Warm White:
Similar feel to a traditional incandescent lamp. This colour is ideally suited to applications such as living rooms, bedrooms and restaurants.
3000k - Warm White:
Ideal for living areas, great for a cosy lighting atmosphere, giving a pleasant warm effect. This softcolour can be used in home lighting, galleries, retail stores, libraries and office areas.
4000k - Neutral White:
Great for general lighting, creating a down to earth lighting effect. This cleaner, clinical, whiter light is often used in showrooms, bookstores and office areas.
6000k - Pure White:
Pure white has blue tones and helps convey a sunny daylight type light that can be associated with pleasing outside conditions.
Crisp White:
Crisp White LEDs offer a unique solution of unparalleled colour rendering of white and colours within one light source. It’s the first retail LED lighting solution to make whites appear pure and bright while at the same time making other colours appear warm, saturated and intense. Offering two colour temperatures within a single lamp, 4000K for whites and 3000K for colours, this represents a totally new colour experience
to shoppers, displaying store merchandise in the best possible light as /930C."
