If you use lightbulbs without any CRI number on it you most likely have something with under 80 or even 60 which is fucking piss light (and this is not about light temperature)
CRI AWARENESS THREAD

if i wanted harsh realism i'd go outdoors. piss bulbs are more cosy.
Benjamin Moore
well I'm not running a photography studio nor am I reading color paper maps, so cheap triphosphor fluoros are fine with me.
Easton Foster
anything in standard base halogen or incandescent?
>inb4 CFL or LED
Dominic Cruz
I still run incandescent bulbs because of that. Fuck that garbage.
I want to try high cri (like 98) without pwm in some room, can some1 recommend me one?

That's exactly the post this thread was made for.
What you're talking about is light TEMPERATURE, not the color rendering index (~ light quality).
The higher the CRI the more natural things look. Sun and old style incandescent bulbs have a CRI 100 while the best LED lights get up to 97, good ones around 90 and the usual shit you find everywhere is usually under 80 and way lower.
Low CRI is also the reason why some people say they can't see shit correctly for some reason with LED lights even if it's a bright white light.
In your case what you want is a >90 CRI 4000k or 3500k bulb to get as close as possible to incandescent comfyness (or just get incandescents if they're still available where you live and have cheap electricity)
Adrian Parker
low cri is a cfl and led problem. normal halogens and incandescents are 100
Lucas Gonzalez
90 CRI is a good compromise target for LED bulbs. Tried them and I couldn't discern the difference unless I really focused. They're functionally the same day-to-day.

Thanks OP. Didn't know this was a thing.

You should have told her to find God.

first high cri light and then when she's ready, the divine light.

Is there a place to find high CRI bulbs in Australia? Its hard enough as is because I've got e27 bayonet fittings. Most links i looked into were American but they will blow in our sockets.
I was interested in ketra lighting, but have no idea how to get them here. Has anybody looked into them?
Jayden Miller
Yuji bulbs are AC100-240V 50/60Hz
Christian Parker
Kek'd.
Dominic Brooks
must be a horror to buy things down there
Easton Jackson
Thank you. I checked them out a bit and they do international shipping with positive reviews. I couldn't find any bayonet styles though so I'll have to purchase a bayonet to edison screw adapter.
Yeah, it can be pretty bad. It's a shock when we get things that other countries don't. Because we're so far away, we pay heaps in shipping and on top of that as of last year our government now added another tax to all overseas purchases.

I use incandescent and never had this problem
