Presenting the best quality of fluorescent
light is of the upmost importance to many OEMs such as manufacturers of jewelry
showcases and other displays, signage and similar types of applications. In fact many OEMs are looking for fluorescent
lamps that “reproduce” color in relation to a natural or ideal light source. At LCD Lighting (LCDL), we are one of the
leading manufacturers of just such lights.
The color of fluorescent lighting is determined
by the Color Rendering Index (CRI), which is defined as quantitatively measuring
the ability of the light source to reveal the color and quality of the light. The index uses a numerical scale from 0 to
100 percent, and the higher the CRI, such as an 80 – 95 percent, the truer the
light is thought to be. At the top of
the scale, a CRI of a 100 percent is natural daylight created by the sun.
One thing to keep in mind is that the
CRI is completely independent of color temperature and lamps with the same
color temperature light source can have different CRIs. However the phosphor used in manufacturing lamps
is the determining factor of color temperature.
The most common industry lamp phosphors produce the following color
temperatures: Warm White - 2800° K to 3200° K; Cool White - 4000° K to 4500° K;
and Day Light - 6200° K to 6800° K.
At LCDL, our proprietary color
rendering index (CRI) offers the ability to produce more rare earth
tri-phosphors to give our fluorescent lamps the truest color with a natural
look. In addition we offer OEMs and
other end-users the chance to get custom colors and images for unique products
and application requirements. Also even
with our 100 various shades of white or phosphor blends, if we do not already
manufacture what you need, we will develop a new blend exclusively for your
application. Please refer to our website

customized fluorescent lamps.
