CRI Baby




The most important consideration when buying a fluorescent bulb is the CRI or the Color Rendering Index. 100 is the highest. Over 90 is considered good. Lumichrome bulbs are listed at 98 CRI, the highest for fluorescent bulbs. The temperature is 6500 degrees Kelvin. They are the closest to north light that I have seen. Maybe I'm just another dim bulb but I think you get what you pay for.
