I don't know of a CRI rating on these bulbs. They are however 5500K bulbs. The beauty of using daylight bulbs like this is that if you have sun shining in the room or bright windows, they will match the color temperature of these bulbs. I set my GH3 at a manual white balance setting of 5500K and the skin tones turn out beautiful. Check my video shot of my granddaughter with these ePhoto lights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpmFWVgZwAI&list=UU1Eyv6C0jdk3kR6j4iOnjnA

Yes as far as I know and I have researched this a lot they are. What is important is that they are 850nm and that is what the skin responds to. Also if u do get them you will see a very faint glow of red when powered up and this is normal.

A bulbs CRI tells you how the colors will look. A CRI of 100 is perfect -things look as they should - same as sunshine. A bulb with a low CRI of say 50 would make everything look terrible.

You'll need to read the specs. The difference may be that you can only use flourescent bulbs vs. regular bulbs.

Luis, yes the lights would be good for make up and Youtube videos. With these three lights, you are able to manipulate and place the light in any angle to suit your needs. However, we would recommend soft boxes because soft boxes focuses the light on the subject and also come with a diffuser panel to soften the subject. These set of three lights do not come with diffuser covers, so we recommend getting white gels (which we sell on our website) for an extra accessory. Please feel free to call us at 1-800-495-8148 for further assistance. We appreciate your inquiry. Regards, Alex G

You are asking for the Color Rendering Index (CRI) of the florescent tubes that ship with this product. Another way to put it is the color temperature, or light spectrum. I believe these are rated as natural sunlight or day light bulb around 500-600 Kelvins but do not quote me as I don't have the manufacture product specs. I would suggest you check with the manufacturer for that specific rating. As a gardener I find they work great for seed trays and plant starts. However, I'm not trying to grow anything exotic or medicinal.

I have been using these studio lights for a few months now. They came with 45 watt, 5500K bulbs, similar to the bulbs you are looking at above. They use standard size light bulb bases like everything in your house. Your higher wattage bulbs should work ok. Heat would be the main concern. I probably would not use halogen bulbs because they are very hot. The only modification I made was to extend the vertical support rod so I can sit these on the floor and now have them high enough for my tabletop, otherwise the base has to sit on the table itself, taking up room.

hi You can replace the current bulbs with another stronger as I did. I'm not used to video. I used it for photography. But I expect it served

I think they will eventually. So far, mine are working okay. Sometimes when I press it to my face the light won't come on and I have to fiddle with it and keep pressing, so that is bothersome. But overall, I recommend the product. When I use all three colors at night my skin looks better in the morning.

In my humble opinion, terrible. Do yourself a favor and get these. LED2020 LED Vintage Filament Bulb, G25 Globe Edison Style, 4W to Replace 40W Incandescent Bulb, Soft White (2700K), 120VAC, E26 Medium Base, Not Dimmable, 3PACK The light quality is beautiful. The color temp is perfect. They are clear and they have a cool retro element you can see when they light up. I own two high end portrait studios and we use these in our changing rooms. I bought almost 50 and have zero regrets. The only downside, they are not dimable. I also learned that if you are going to use motion sensors to turn these on and off, you need motion sensors compatible with LED bulbs. Hope this helps!

I use them for my YT videos so I say yes but I have upgraded one bulb for a larger watts other than that they are perfect for my lighting and videos are better

I do not know the CRI, but I do know that I purchased this bulb a few months back, as a test as I want to replace all my reflector lights with LED bulbs. This is an awesome bulb, but its too long on the neck. I hope Philips makes the same one with a neck 1/2" shorter....

No they come with their own very big curly (I think LED) bulbs. I really like the set. For the money it really helps me with my short youtube videos. Blessings to you!
