CRI is a method for describing the effect of a light source on the color appearance of objects being illuminated. A CRI of 100 represents the reference condition of daylight (and thus the maximum CRI possible). In general, low CRI illumination may render some colors unnatural and lamps with a CRI under 60 should not be used. It has been proven that at a certain point, the higher the CRI, the lower the illuminance. A CRI in the 80s is good for all general tasks.
