<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2169933, member: 1765&quot;]The way I interpret CRI is that it is independent of color shift, which is what white balance can compensate.&nbsp; I would think that a spectral power distribution that is nothing but spikes wouldn&#039;t work well, but from this article, it looks like I should throw out the CFLs I like and get consistently good results from.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/reviews/g164/incandescent-vs-compact-fluorescent-vs-led-ultimate-light-bulb-test/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/reviews/g164/incandescent-vs-compact-fluorescent-vs-led-ultimate-light-bulb-test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/reviews/g164/incandescent-vs-compact-fluorescent-vs-led-ultimate-light-bulb-test/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A good visual test would be to photograph a color checker under each of the light sources, with the white balance calibrated to the gray part of the color checker.&nbsp; Perhaps then you&#039;d see how strong and weak parts of the spectrum manifest themselves visibly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
