What does "CRI" mean?
CRI stands for Colour Rendering Index. The CRI is a scale with a maximum value of 100, indicating how accurate a light source is at rendering color when compared to a reference light source of the same color temperature. The higher the CRI, the better the color rendering ability. Lower CRI values indicate that colors may appear unnatural when illuminated by the light source.
What is the difference between Lux and Lumen?
We use lumen to compare the total amount of light output from a light emitter. We use lux to measure the amount of light output in a given area, where one lux is equal to one lumen per spare meter.
What does coaxial illumination mean?
Compact "coaxial" design ensures a completely shadow-free image and allows for excellent illumination of difficult to see areas.
