D50 vs Centric Daylight for Basement Home Office Lighting
Your company appears to be one of the best for high CRI lightbulbs. I am working on a basement-level home office with no natural light. I will be working out of this office most of the time (40+ hours a week). Your D50 5000k bulb initially caught my attention for the high CRI and R9>80. Your Centric Daylight 4000k bulbs are also appealing for a touch warmer tint. Does the Centric Daylight have a lower R9? What would you recommend for a home office?
Generally speaking, we like to recommend the 4000K color temperature for offices and workspaces. Further, we can confirm that the 4000K Centric Daylight A19 bulb offers an R9 value of 95, whereas the D50 A19 bulb offers an R9 value of 92.
As such, we would likely recommend the 4000K CENTRIC DAYLIGHT™ Full Spectrum Flicker-Free A19 10W LED Bulb for your basement office. For greater output per bulb (800 vs 1600 lumens), you might also be interested in our newly launched 4000K CENTRIC DAYLIGHT™ Full Spectrum Flicker-Free A21 15W LED Bulbs.
