Proposing a Redefined Lumen Instead of CRI as a Basis for Regulation

reaIn this article published in LEDs Magazine, Mark Rea, Director of the Lighting Research Center, and Jean Paul Freyssinier, Senior Research Scientist for the LRC, propose a new definition for the lumen. This lumen should be used in product regulations instead of CRI, as CRI arguably does not align to consumer preferences for color rendering.

Rea and Freyssinier make their case here.
