Hi. I need to know about the CRI. It is above or under 90?

I know it's a little late for this, but for anyone else wondering: I've got the 100wEq version of this bulb, and it's CRI is 91, so I can't imagine it'd be any less.

I do not know the CRI. I viewed the lamp with a Kodak Color Viewing Light Selector. The two patches did not match. This means "...the light source may not be suitable for viewing color prints or illuminating color transparencies.".

Thanks for the information, I haven't been able to look at one to see how high they are. Now I have a benchmark. Thanks again!

I have used it at 425 and it did ok. I wasn't aware of its limits so will be more careful next time. I will probably just use it to stop check and not leave it in the oven.

I noticed the same thing, it reads higher than the bayer one I have also by 20 points. This meter is a piece of junk in my opinion, wastes lots of strips.

90'" There's also an excellent calculator at http://vivitekusa.com/calculator.php?prod=Qumi+Q5

I actually hope it doesn't rise past 100 dollar mark after Nov 30th. Sorry I couldn't get a specific answer.

color rendering index (CRI) A rating index commonly used to represent how well a light source renders the colors of objects that it illuminates. For a CRI value of 100, the maximum value, the colors of objects can be expected to be seen as they would appear under an incandescent or daylight spectrum of the same correlated color temperature (CCT). Sources with CRI values less than 50 are generally regarded as rendering colors poorly, that is, colors may appear unnatural.

I don't know of a CRI rating on these bulbs. They are however 5500K bulbs. The beauty of using daylight bulbs like this is that if you have sun shining in the room or bright windows, they will match the color temperature of these bulbs. I set my GH3 at a manual white balance setting of 5500K and the skin tones turn out beautiful.

I don't. It holds up just fine for me. I've got it up around 350 and can't say I see a problem because of it.

It says up to 25#. Ours is only 10# right now, so I can't verify the accuracy of that claim.

And at 189.00 I would run away. Mine was just around 119.00 iirc, google is your friend, search search search.

I'm having difficulty recalling as I use mine only at 0 deg. --- but it seems as if the choices were indeed only 0 and 90. EDIT: based upon consensus, I'm guessing that my previous comment is not correct!

Honestly, I haven't used them yet (I bought 2). Good to know you have used them at 450. I didn't know they were sold on QVC, just don't have time to watch that channel, but I like the things they sell. Sorry I could not help you. sb

I do not know the CRI, but I do know that I purchased this bulb a few months back, as a test as I want to replace all my reflector lights with LED bulbs. This is an awesome bulb, but its too long on the neck. I hope Philips makes the same one with a neck 1/2" shorter....

I don't have any real experience above about 9. Fine there. It seems people use these in industrial settings and somewhere I saw the number 30 as being good, but can't recall where.

NO, anytime it gets below 90 you should pay close attention, low 80's your in trouble, if you need an alarm, good luck
