CRI is a joke...LED video lights vs REAL Tungsten and Daylight with Sekonic C-800 color meter
Highest CRI LED lights are all the rage but a lot of it is hype. Photography and video lights are almost all LED lights now, and RGB LED video lights especially. If the CRI is so high, why do the colors look green and skin tones not so good? This video answers your CRI questions and compares the latest LEDs to REAL tungsten lights and real daylight. The results may shock you. See why Hollywood still uses a lot of real tungsten, halogen and HMI lights for the best skin tones possible. The best tool possible for testing, reading and setting perfect light colors is the Sekonic C-800 SpectroMaster Colour and Illuminance Meter. It can measure not just CRI and Ra value, but R9, SSI, M-30, color correction, CCi and even tells you what gels to use to correct and what camera white balance and magenta tint adjustments to make.
