What is CRI and Why It Matters in Interior Lighting


When choosing modern LED lighting for an apartment, home, or office, it is important to consider not only the style and power, but also CRI (Color Rendering Index).


What is CRI?


CRI is an index that shows how naturally colors appear under artificial lighting.


The closer the value is to 100, the more accurately the light renders real colors.


CRI 80 — standard level, but may distort shades.

CRI 90+ — high color accuracy, comfort, and naturalness.


Why is this important?


✔ The color of walls, furniture, and decor looks richer and more realistic

✔ Skin and clothing look natural

✔ Food on the kitchen and dining table looks appetizing

✔ Lighting does not distort spatial perception
