Lighting 101
Light is abstract — unable to be touched and often unnoticed — but it plays an essential role in illuminating the everyday life.  
From shape to color to luminosity, lights are designed to reflect a number of distinguishing features, and as a result, some lights are better than others. Indeed, scientists emphasize two important features to reflect and demonstrate the quality of white light: Color Temperature and Color Rendering Index.  
 
 
Color temperature (CCT)
 
CCT denotes the different shades of white using a temperature measurement in Kelvins (K) and is usually characterized as the "warmth" of a light. Contrary to popular idioms, the higher the temperature of a light, the bluer it will appear, and the lower the temperature, the redder the light. For instance, the sun at midday seems a bluer white (6000 K), while light during a sunset looks more red (2000 K).
 
Ordinarily, most light sources, including incandescent, fluorescent and even most other LEDs, can only show one color temperature per light bulb. But our advanced Dense Matrix LED™ technology allows us to have the capacity to showcase a variety of color temperatures all in one lamp, giving you more freedom to perfect the ambience in any room.

Color Rendering Index (CRI)
 
CRI demonstrates the ability of a light to faithfully represent colors as seen under an ideal light source such as the sun, which has a perfect CRI number of 100. The higher the number, the more colors will dazzle and pop. The lower the number, the more objects will appear dull and muted. CRI varies between light sources, from 95 (halogen) to less than 80 (fluorescent).
 
Our products boast a high CRI, giving you more natural, vibrant colors throughout your home. Compare the vivid sunlit colors of a bright sunny day or the luminous effect of our LEDs to a dreary office space under harsh fluorescent lights - the effects of different CRI are striking.
