The CRI color rendering index is one of the most important characteristics of a light source. It was introduced in 1965 in order to distinguish between light sources with the same color temperature because they conveyed colors differently.

What is CRI R9 and why is it important?

What is CRI R9 and why is it important?

CRI R9 is one of the color test patterns (TCS) used in calculating the extended CRI. However, many manufacturers list only the overall CRI, which does not include the CRI R9. Therefore, CRI R9 is often a useful additional indicator for evaluating a light source's color rendering ability, especially for objects whose reflectance spectra contain red wavelengths.

A closer look at how R9 is calculated, along with the appropriate color test pattern (TCS9), is a general recommendation for anyone who needs to know about the color quality of a light source.

The law of light reflection: a complete formulation

The law of light reflection: a complete formulation

We see the transformation of light everywhere: in store windows, in the glare of the sun on water, and of course in the mirror. But we don't really think about the mechanisms and principles of this phenomenon. But these basics are actively used in different spheres of our life. Let's get to know what light is, how it refracts, and how it is used in life.
