Lighting for Colour Matching and Retouching in Conservation


Willard’s lighting range in recent years has expanded and been updated to utilise the latest in LED technology to achieve an impressive CRI of 99.


What is CRI in lighting?

Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is a measurement of how natural colour appearance renders under an artificial white light source, compared with that of natural sunlight. The index scale is measured from 0-100, with 100 indicating that colours of objects under the light source appear the same as they would under natural sunlight.

Until recently, most LED’s have not been able to achieve an index greater than 90. However, Willard now have exclusive access to the very latest LED technology and are able to offer luminaires with a close to perfect CRI index of 99, making our lighting range the most accurate choice for colour matching and retouching in conservation.


These LED’s also satisfy the sustainable and green focus that Willard are committed to. The LED’s use just a fraction of the energy associated with more traditional fluorescent lamps and have a life expectancy of approximately 50,000 hours, which is the equivalent of 25 years (based on a typical use of 8 hours a days 5 a week!), which makes them the most sustainable choice for illuminating any studio with quality colour rendering light. Find out more about Willard’s sustainable initiatives here.


From track mounted studio luminaire systems to compact floor stand lighting, as the manufacturer of Willard equipment, we are able to offer CRI 99 LED’s in most of our lighting designs. We are also happy to cater to fully custom requests and will happily design the right lighting solution for your needs. Please get in touch with our experienced team who will be more than happy to assist you.
