CRI-10 Color Rendering Improvement Filter

CRI-10 delivers a distinct profile: dominant red peak of 95.1 % at 637 nm combined with dramatic UV suppression (only 24.9 % in UV band) and moderate NIR pass (64.5 %). The filter achieves a minimum of 10.5 % at 382 nm, establishing an effective UV cutoff. Green regions maintain strong transmission (81.9 % at 510-540 nm, 48.2 % at 540-580 nm), preserving accent colors while the yellow dip creates a natural warm-bias correction. The 68.4 % average transmission balances practical light efficiency with meaningful CRI enhancement. This red-dominant architecture suits sources requiring UV elimination alongside visible-spectrum CRI improvement.

Key Advantages

• Dominant Deep-Red Peak - 637 nm peak at 95.1 % transmission boosts R9 and R13 CRI components dramatically; red-enhanced sources appear naturally warm and saturated without sacrificing overall brightness.
• Aggressive UV Cutoff - UV suppression to 24.9 % eliminates ultraviolet content that degrades color perception and causes photochemical damage in sensitive applications like fine-art display and archival materials.
• Balanced Green-Band Transmission - High green preservation (77-82 %) maintains proper color saturation and hue discrimination; sources achieve warm tone without appearing monochromatic or deficient in green accent response.
• Ion-Assisted Hard-Oxide Durability - Red-peak filter design survives thermal cycling and continuous high-power operation; proven in museum lighting and luxury retail applications with > 5000 hour stability.
• Custom Optical Integration Capability - Round 5-450 mm, square blanks, and bespoke free-form geometries on Borofloat, soda-lime, D263 T, Eagle XG with 0.21-3.8 mm substrate thickness for any fixture design.

Typical Applications

• Museum & Heritage Site Lighting - Paintings, textiles, and artifacts illuminated with CRI-10 avoid UV-induced degradation while achieving accurate color rendering; conservation reports document photochemical stability across exhibition seasons.
• Luxury Retail Warm Ambiance - High-end boutiques and jewelry stores benefit from CRI > 95 warm tone without fluorescent coolness; customers perceive premium products as more desirable and are willing to pay higher prices.
• Residential Hospitality Lighting - Hotel suites and residential lighting achieve incandescent-equivalent warmth with LED efficiency; guests experience 'luxury' ambiance that increases satisfaction scores and repeat booking rates.
• Cosmetics & Beauty Retail Display - Makeup and skincare products rendered under CRI-10 lighting appear more vibrant and appealing; customers perceive makeup shades as true-to-application without color shifts after purchase.
• Wine Tasting Room & Fine Dining - Restaurant and wine-bar ambiance achieves warm CRI with zero UV flicker that fatigues vision; diners relax under soft, natural lighting that enhances food appearance and wine color perception.

CRI-10 samples available in 3-4 weeks; production supports custom mounting, substrate selection, and volume pricing from 50 units upward for hospitality and retail integrators.
