Ive been playing with 97 CRI 100 watt Bridgelux RS emitters for a while and really enjoy the high color saturation. Its nice that more high CRI options are trickling down to the consumer market.
UV spectrum should be a warning to all, a slight CRI benefit is completely outweighed by the negative, if the price is exposing yourself to more UV spectrum.
Exactly.
My first thought, no thanks.
Eh. UV shmyoo-vee! I ain’t scared! 
Just don’t shine it directly in anyone’s eyes - which you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
If you really want a scare, read up on Dihydrogen Monoxide! Another link here.
Dihydrogen monoxide! I confess I was telling to myself wtfits even before I clicked on that link, DavidEF. ROFLMAO!
Well, irrespective of the context…
Cheeers! ^:)
Well has anyone found some high cri BULBS?
Philips range for example?
XHP70 3000k 90+ CRI.
Just putting this here for you.
Thanks, it was already on my wishlist. :-)

The latest IKEA bulbs are over 90 CRI. Strange enough they do not advertise it, but it is there on the package. What I do not like is that there is a ripple on the output (only shows on pictures, have not tested the frequency), but then, all Philips and Osram bulbs have that too (but not my Yuji high CRI bulbs).

I cant find a suitable driver to power this led to 12-20w of power. And a voltage of 12-14V.
Most drivers are 9-12V which is not enough, and above that most of them are 15-22V.
Something like this, but 12V could be a bit low for the XHP70? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trasformatore-Alimentazione-Driver-220V-240V-a-AC12V-1A-per-lampadine-a-LED-/291188703546?hash=item43cc33013a:g:My0AAOSwwPtTwPpf Or perhaps not?
Perhaps there are better and cheaper with a more common voltage
What about R9 Joz? Any info? I wont use anything but R9>70 in my home 
Will look for the in the local IKEA store and if they are awailable will post results
mdeni, you may want to peek at these: 3-4x3 W Watt High Power LED Light lamp Driver Power Supply 85-265V 600mA
600mA constant current drivers, with adequate output voltage range. With 3 pieces in parallel, ≈1.8A of driving current. Also, having multiple supplies gives you a redundancy reliability advantage: if one of the drivers goes poof, the light will just dim a bit, so you'll know its time to swap a driver.
