one of the many reasons the light feels more natural

Installations with higher ceilings, i.e., greater than 10 feet (3 meters), and fewer light points can now accommodate a better grade of lighting than is possible with fluorescent or ceramic metal halide (CMH) sources.As these latter light sources have been increasingly used in commercial and residential settings to save energy and reduce costs, there has been an associated loss of comfort and natural feel to the light they produce.led high bay light has utilized the science of color and light, phosphors and solid-state technology to create its Artist Series and bring back the natural lighting that people prefer.

"Between the drive to create more efficient light sources and the regulatory controls that are removing some sources from the market, we've seen a gradual acceptance in homes and professional environments for light that simply doesn't have the richness or sparkle that was historically a hallmark of halogen light," said Joanna Brace, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Xicato. "The first experience you have when entering any space – whether a restaurant, a shop, a hotel or your home is how the light makes you feel. Achieving color rendering greater than 95 and quality of light that makes us feel good and makes objects and colors 'look right' is achievable with a light source that is more efficient than halogen or CFL and lasts longer than fluorescent and CMH. Sacrificing quality of light for efficiency shouldn't be the choice.


The light from led flood lighting is virtually indistinguishable from halogen, is more energy efficient, and delivers color consistency and longevity that greatly exceeds what's possible with halogen lamps. The color rendering index (CRI) is the most often used measure of light quality and the Artist Series has a CRI ≥ 95 as measured against all 15 official reference colors. Fluorescent and CMH color rendering is typically based on only eight of the 15 CRI reference colors. The Artist Series virtual match to halogen across all 15 color points is one of the many reasons the light feels more natural.
