LED Lights
CRI is defined as how a light source makes the color of an object appear to human eyes and how well subtle variations in color shades are revealed. It’s really how well a light bulb shows true colors. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is a scale from 0 to 100 percent. It indicates how accurate a given light source is when it comes to rendering color when compared to a reference light source. The better color rendering ability depends on higher CRI.

What is a Ballast and Why They are Not Used in LED Lights
When light bulbs were a new invention, a device was placed within the bulbs. The purpose of this device was to limit the amount of current in an electrical circuit. This device is known as a Ballast. If this was not used in the light bulbs and T8 light bulbs (tube Lights), there remained a risk of current rising to a destructive level. Ballast is still used in bulbs and tube lights to avoid current rise in the lights. Metal halide, mercury vapor, and HID are also the prime examples of lights using ballasts.
Today ballasts are going away in favor of LED Drivers.
