Color rendering index (CRI) definition
Color rendering index (CRI) means the measured degree of color shift objects undergo when illuminated by a light source as compared with the color of those same objects when illuminated by a reference source of comparable color temperature, as determined using the applicable test method in Section 1604(k).
Color rendering index (CRI) means a measurement com- paring the color of an object under a light source to a ref- erence light source of comparable color temperature. CRI values generally range from 0 to 100. As the CRI approaches 100, the color of the lit object becomes truer or closer to the original color.
