**Beyond Light vs.

This article explores the importance of color rendering in Hazloc lighting, comparing the performance of two popular lighting technologies: Beyond Light and Dark. **Beyond Light**

Beyond Light is a new generation of LED lighting technology that offers a wide range of color rendering capabilities. It utilizes advanced optical design and semiconductor technology to achieve high color rendering indices (CRI) and high lumen output.

The Critical Role of CRI How accurately a given light source portrays color is measured on the Color Rendering Index (CRI). This scale, ranging from 0 to 100, uses natural light as its benchmark for the most accurate color rendering possible: 100 CRI. A light source with a higher CRI rating indicates that objects illuminated by it appear more vivid and true, while lower CRI ratings (typically below 80) mean that light source may make colors appear distorted. This effect is very common in daily life. Think about how the orange glow of common high-pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights make your car look a completely different color at night or how your favorite blue shirt looks black or even purple in certain lighting.

The term “color temperature” refers to the perceived color of the light emitted. It is influenced by the color of the light source, the wavelength, and the intensity of the light. Higher color temperatures generally correspond to cooler, bluer light, while lower color temperatures correspond to warmer, redder light.
