11. For illumination the rendering of colored objects under the respective light is a key property. It is, according to a CIE standard procedure measured by 14 special color rendering indices (CRI), the first eight of which are averaged into the General Color Rendering Index Ra. The color rendering indices can attain values up to 100, if the rendering is as good as for daylight.
12. The CCT compares the emitted radiation of any luminous source to the radiation emitted by a Planckian black body of the respective temperature.
