Has anyone tested the CRI on these? They claim 90% but I find that hard to believe...

If you are that concerned about the CRI (Color Rendering Index) of these buy one and test it. Personally once I have my lighting set, I set the white balance in camera and tweak in post. Typically it is a very minor tweak if any. So far I have not noticed any shift in color from one lamp to the next - I have 4 of them-. If and when color is that critical use a color chart, there again as everyone's (your audience's) TV/Monitor/Screen is going to be an uncontrollable variable, in terms of color output... Add to that, the TLCI is more relevant for video. If you are transferring your video to film then the CRI has more relevance due to the nature of the film's emulsion, which in itself is a variable as one batch of film will vary from the one before or after just as the imaging chip of one camera can and will vary to the next. Lastly most color correction software can combat -with a little work- the effects of a cross-curve. If you want inexpensive lights that work get these, if you want perfectly clean color from your lights then you will have to pay a lot more.

I am looking for the same answer. My 3% version with this 35% came out weak compared to a different 3% brand.

I don't know - I returned and was given credit easily and quickly. I see that for lots of people they worked great - I just got three bad ones. Seemed 90% great and 10% no good

Actually, I have the same question. Can the manufacture verify if we have to worry about it, or are we supposed to rely on the consumer for answers? I'm just wondering.

Thanks for your information. I get tired of buying products just to spend my time returning them because they did not meet the manufacturer's claims.

I bought two different bottles and tried it twice. One bottle is 50% and the other 60%. As far as I know there is no bottle with 100%. The reviews on Garcinia were terrible when I researched it. Ofcourse after the scam exploded, the bad reviews were being burried. Its about profit. I will say that 9 out of 10 reviews were really bad.

Based on my experience it only went up to 0.04%. I'm sure it wasn't working properly, but after having them send me a new one and it still didn't work I was ready to give up.

That is the same problem I had. I was getting about a 15% failure rate with them. If it's not the Memorex discs, hard question to give a definitive answer to. Could be some error on the software, or perhaps there is a physical problem with the CR-ROM reader, or even the SCSI/USB interfaces. Also, see if the software needs to be updated. Try a different brand and also different CD writing software.

This si 10%, I have used higher with no results, not sure where on the list,right now, but high up

I've notice that, too. Looking at buying a receiver and all of them seem to have this rate. Is it perhaps sample size? Most of them seem to have less than 100. Sometimes I wonder if the negative stories are real. But in one case I trust the person and the review is real.

Excellent question, because I don't know. I hope they are reliable, I bought about 20 for my new home.

Thanks for the info. It really helps to get feedback from another consumer as opposed to the company. I appreciate your taking the time. KV

My experience is exactly the same. I've thrown mine out. Would never purchase these again and would never recommend anyone buy them.

I have found them not to be very accurate. I returned my first unit for that reason. The second unit was not much better. There are better auto units available. I don't use it anymore in my office.

Honestly, I haven't used them yet (I bought 2). Good to know you have used them at 450. I didn't know they were sold on QVC, just don't have time to watch that channel, but I like the things they sell. Sorry I could not help you. sb

I bought one after the bad reviews, and have had no problems. I am entirely pleased with the product. That doesn't answer your question, I know, as clearly it wasn't a 100% failure rate.

Well, I don't know much about CRI but in the bulbs attached reads 85W, 120V, 5500K RoHS, they are big bulbs, i had to replace with 3 bulbs as they got broken, my mistake but replaced with smaller others and have worked fine, i bought like a year ago and i am happy with my lights.
