Visual Matching of 3000K Low Voltage Incandescent with LED Combinations – a Pilot Study with 5 People Conclusions A visual match of the low voltage incandescent lamp at 3000K can be obtained with White 5650K + G + R at 3700K and CIE xy coordinates 0.3905, 0.3770 and CRI 81 White 5650K + G + Amber + R at 3550K and CIE xy coordinates 0.3992, 0.3779 and CRI 91
Visual Matching of 3000K Low Voltage Incandescent with LED Combinations – a Pilot Study with 5 People Conclusions, continued The participants expressed concern that it was impossible to exactly match the appearance of low voltage incandescent with LEDs since „something is missing“ Nevertheless, they preferred a match of white+green+amber+red instead of white+green+red They rejected trials without green
Visual Matching of 3000K Low Voltage Incandescent with LED Combinations – a Pilot Study with 5 People Conclusions, continued Red-orange was rejected as a member for matching, since it created an artificial glow and seemed to too much of a good thing Every LED combination seemed to be missing the whitish-light yellow appearance of the low voltage incandescent Amber with white, green and red is necessary to achieve a CRI over 90 Without amber, the CRI hovers around 80
