Nichia offers LEDs with a wide variety of color rendering options to meet the needs of our customers. This application note provides information on Nichia’s lighting LEDs and their color rendering properties. Color rendering is a measure of how faithfully the colors of objects can be reproduced; the higher the color rendering properties of a light source are, the more accurately the light source can reproduce the colors. In the past, LEDs were said to have low color rendering; however, in recent years, due to technical improvements such as development of better phosphors there are now many LEDs that have high color rendering. An increasing number of houses and shops are using luminaires with LEDs that have high color rendering or special rendering1 to make food look delicious, make skin look beautiful, etc.
