In a first (as far as I know) LED manufacturer Xicato has published TM-30 results for some of its modules alongside the CRI results for Ra and R9. \u00a0Menko de Roos, CEO of Xicato, says “At Xicato we are very supportive of TM-30-15 overall and recognize the need for an improved metric system along these two dimensions.” \u00a0You can read the full press release and find links to the results here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m excited to see this greatly improved color rendering metric being used by a major manufacturer, and hope to see more manufacturers releasing TM-30 results soon. \u00a0If you still haven’t looked into TM-30 there is\u00a0an increasing number of resources available to you. \u00a0TM-30 is available for purchase here<\/a>.
