Despite all of the press[edit]

Despite all of the press about the L-prize Philips bulb, Philips does not actually appear to feature any high-CRI bulbs on their web site. All of the products they actually sell are 80 CRI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattdm (talk • contribs) 02:17, 9 September 2013‎

Providing underlying data[edit]

This page is a useful contribution to the discussion. However as a previous person suggested, it would be useful to provide the underlying LED units in each of the commercial products that are listed. Cvhorie (talk) 08:11, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A complete misunderstanding of CRI and lights[edit]

Wow! is this article incorrect! An incandescent light is, by definition, 100 CRI. That's because any burning body gives a near ideal black body radiation spectrum for the temperature it is burning at, and therefore ideal illumination at that temperature. The problem is the temperatures of incandescent lights are nowhere near that of mid-day sunshine. Fluorescents can achieve those temperatures, but their spectrum profiles are very spikey and need to be carefully engineered with various coatings to smooth out the profile to achieve a high CRI score.

[Edit] - Okay, I just realized the article is talking about LED lighting as "incandescent replacement". Not as bad as I thought, but still quite confusing. Hew Johns (talk) 18:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Link hijacking?[edit]

Someone seems to have directed Best LEDs link to an e-store — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:110:8012:1010:0:0:0:6DD (talk) 07:59, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Needs work[edit]

For the interested reader, this article barely scratches the surface. I've done some superficial cleanup, but the article needs more content. Ross Fraser (talk) 20:00, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
