Often called a “full spectrum” source “6K” 6500K Daylight…close to average outdoor sky color “10K” 10,000K Blue-White…close to clear blue sky color….for aquarium lighting
What is CRI? Color Rendering Index A numeric indication of a lamp’s ability to render individual colors accurately relative to a standard CRI value is derived from a comparison of the lamp’s spectral distribution to the standard at the same color temperature

Benefits and Features Overview
Photopic lumens (day time) • Published lumen ratings • Light measurement based on daytime observations Scotopic lumens (nighttime) • Lumen measurements corrected for nighttime vision S/P Ratio • The ratio of light measured by the photopic and scotopic methods
S/P Ratio Comparisons for Outdoor Lighting • The S/P Ratio of 5000K daylight light sources is 2.1 • The S/P Ratio of 4000K light sources is 1.65 • The S/P Ratio of 3000K light sources is 1.4 • The S/P Ratio for yellow HPS light sources is 0.64
What Does the S/P Ratio Tell Us about Outdoor Lighting? • Lamps with high S/P ratios (high scotopic content) improve one’s ability to see outdoors. • A 4000K light source is at least twice as effective for viewing at night as HPS sources. Similarly, a 5000K light source is more than 3 times as effective as HPS sources.
What Does the S/P Ratio Tell Us about Indoor Lighting? • Lamps with high S/P ratios (high scotopic content) improve one’s ability to see indoors. • Human studies have shown that the S/P values, though previously applicable to only nighttime conditions, can be used to describe the "effective lumens" of indoor lighting as well. • Example: If two rooms are lit separately with 4000K and 5000K lamps to equal photopic luminance, the 5000K room will appear at least 13% brighter.
What are “Effective Lumens”? • As defined by Dr. Ian Lewin, the term “effective lumens” describes the modified lumen output of a lamp, taking into account the shifting color sensitivity of the eye at low light levels. • The Effective Lumen rating reflects the lumen rating of Natural White lamps is given relative to 4000K lamps. The formula used to determine this rating indoors is (S/P)0.5. This provides the end user, lighting designer or contractor with an accurate comparison of traditional 4000K lamps to 5000K lamps.
How does this relate to Natural White? With a high S/P ratio of 2.1, Natural White lamps provide customers with an: • Improved ability to see indoors • Improved nighttime vision This makes Natural White an excellent product for either indoor or outdoor lighting applications. Combined with high CRI and high CCT, the Natural White lamp/ballast system features superior color rendering, as well as all the benefits of Uni-Form arc tube and Opti-Wave ballast technology.
