Why High CRI is Always Less Efficient
why high CRI LEDs lag behind their 80 CRI (or lower) counterparts in their luminous efficacy (lumens per watt).
If you’ve read some of our other blog posts, you’ll see we’re obsessed with color science. Since the relationship between CRI and luminous efficacy is frequently noticed but rarely understood, we thought this was a question/topic that definitely deserved a dedicated post.
