A:AnswerI don't know the rating, but to me the color rendition is much better than most of the LEDs that I have bought. The "CREE" bulbs have an unnatural greenish tint worse than most fluorescents. I find most incandescents too yellowish for my tastes. I have been replacing reveal bulbs, and the color is very close with maybe a touch more blue.
A:AnswerI live in FL where it's hotter than an elephants armpit and i use these bulbs outside and they work great. But i do want to note it's on my front porch so i don't know if it will withstand rain. I even noticed there's way less bugs flocking to my porch at night when i turn them on.
A:AnswerCRI is Color Rendering Index, and is a measure of how much of the color spectrum the light emits. CRI ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 meaning full spectrum light like the sun. Typical CFL bulbs have a CRI of 80. Incandescent bulbs have a CRI of 97. CRI is unrelated to return on investment (ROI). I just wanted to know the CRI of this bulb before I buy one.
