Obsolete merge proposal

Oppose - color rendering index is a very specific measurement and should not be confused with other measures of color rendering. PAR 04:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - It should not be merged, however there ought to be something in the text that explains the use of the CRI with respect to current lighting technologies. (e.g. fluorescent tubes, LED replacements for incandescents, etc) Any chance someone can offer clarification about what is meant by "perceived"? (Quoting from the article page, "The perceived colors under the reference and test illumination ...". The "perceived colors" can be determined by a human, which isn't subject to calibration, or it can be determined by a device that would be calibratable (if this is a word) to a spectrum based on known wavelengths. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnP (talk • contribs) 08:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- CRI is a very specific and measurable quality of light. Perhaps a better solution would be to create a more general "Color Rendering qualities of Light" topic wherein various measurables both quanititive and qualitative could be discussed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.88.255.139 (talk) 17:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree in part -- CRI is a terrible metric to use by any lighting expert's standards. However it is specific and important for historic reasons. Not to mention it's dominance in household products. CRI deserves to remain a page perhaps with the heading "CIE Color Rendering Index" to more specifically refer to the named standard. A new page on the topic of color rendering should be written using the following definition "The property of a lighting fixture which describes how the light it produces will affect the appearance of colored materials" TDcolor (talk) 19:39, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Add still photo to the "Film and video high-CRI LED lighting incompatibility" section.

The "Film and video high-CRI LED lighting incompatibility" section describes the applicability of CRI scores to film and video results. Still digital photography is not specifically mentioned. Could such material be added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmk5717 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
