Ultimate LED Bulbs - Ultra High CRI - The Honorable Quest

@fneuf, I just noticed your OP says (with french?) CRI_Grade is somehow related to the “à la energy efficiency norm”? that you linked. This is really confusing. CRI_Grade should not be explained with a comparison to energy efficiency. How about this:

  • “CRI_Grade” is an initiative to Grade lights based on their color rendering, but with extra significance given to the weakest areas of modern LED technology.

If someone want, there is REMEZ review from me (rus language)

there is some photos:


e14 5w & 7w and E27 7w works with 110-120v with ~1% pulse (measured by RADEX LUPIN)
E27 9w with 110-120v pulsed on ~25%
all of these works with 80-100v, but throbbing about 50%
in 9W there is 3.3uf, I upgraded it to 4.7uf, and now it works with 110-120v with ~1% pulse

I have a couple more coming to replace the hyperikon bulbs in my office

All of those sunlike emitters look super impressive on paper. Do any of them look significantly better to your eye? At Rf+Rg = >195 , is tint and CCT the only perceivable difference? I’m really curious if the SunLikePlus has any noticeable effect in the real world?

It’s your custom lamps ?

It’s a SunLike10x (now called SunLike9)

I’m not expecting them to look any better than the hyperikon bulbs they are replacing (those already look very pleasing to my eye). I’m mainly getting them because they should last a lot longer and should be healthier for my eyes in the long term.


Fake “white” VS SunLikePLUS

Thanks for the pictures SunLike, but I’m not sure what the light sources are between the two photos? Obviously there’s a warmer CCT on the right with very good red saturation, but no clues to exact LEDs.

Thanks for updating that. I think maybe I didn’t ask my question clearly, I apologize.

I understand there are HUGE differences between the SunLike LEDs vs any standard CRI “white” competitor. Your pictures illustrates that well.

What I’m wondering is if there is a visible (human eye only) difference between SunLike Plus and SunLike 12S in 4000K? The spectrum is radically broader, but do these far out wavelengths have a significant impact to our visual perception?

I have a client who added a red-coated incandescent lamp (which gives red light) to a 4000k SOL. The camera responds well to this. Reflected red becomes larger. A perfect red gives an incandescent lamp – there are a lot of red in it. Personally, I have not yet tried to install such lamps at home. So far I have made 6C and 7w kit and 16 watts with SunLikePLUS LEDs, and they are with reflectors.

I added ColorMunki cri results to the chinese Marswell 40w 5700k bulb pics on google drive Ultimate LED Bulbs - Ultra High CRI - The Honorable Quest - #236 by Dalamar

It would be appreciated if someone told me how to get a proper spectral graph out of argyll…god I hate cli.
ColorMunki does not work with CT&A, although I found 5.0 on the seven seas…

It depends what you’re looking at. Cyan, violet, red colors of the variety you can find on natural things can be drastically different with the Sunlike SOL.
My collared dove neck highlight looks rather bland under my Cree light Cree 1600 lumen 5000k ta21-16050mdfh25-12de26-1-11.png - Google Drive , but under the mix of halogen/sunlike the neck highlights look a lot less dull. Manmade stuff you generally won’t see much different….

Sunlike’s cri comparison photo looks like a 80CRI with bad R9, which isnt really a fair comparison…

You could use HCFR for spectrum. The SPD graph generator from Argyll is not very pretty, but it does have one.

edit: another option is to read the SPD data from Argyll and then paste the values into Osram Color Calculator

It can create TM-30 reports and also visualize the tint on a CIE graph. See contactr’s examples.

I dont have access to my device/computer right now but here are some more tips.

I believe I used one of these two commands to get high res spectral output

spotread -a -x -H -s
spotread -a -x -H -s -N -O

Then I pasted or opened the data in a google sheet and ran a macro to transpose the data into columns and saved as a CSV file so it would end up formatted like this:

spectrum, measurement

spectrum, measurement

Then you can import it into Osram Color Calc as a spectrum CSV file. You can create your own way to parse it but I just used google sheets as a quick and dirty macro cause I didnt have Excel w/ VBA or anything installed on that computer.

//loop over the rows in the array
for(var row in values){

//use Array.map to execute a replace call on each of the cells in the row.
var replaced_values = values[row].map(function(original_value){
return original_value.toString().replace('SPEC_','');
:smiling_imp:;

//replace the original row values with the replaced values
values[row] = replaced_values;
}

//write the updated values to the sheet
spreadsheet.getDataRange().setValues(values);
spreadsheet.getRange('A1').activate();

};

Me too. It’s 2020 for God sake. We are supposed to be on to brain-computer interfaces now.

CLI interfaces won’t die any time soon.
They require learning which is a big drawback. But they are simple to implement, simple to automate and once learned can be quite ergonomic.
I use Unix shell a lot - and I’m much more productive because of that.
