Merge proposal
Oppose - color rendering index is a very specific measurement and should not be confused with other measures of color rendering. PAR 04:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Oppose - It should not be merged, however there ought to be something in the text that explains the use of the CRI with respect to current lighting technologies. (e.g. fluorescent tubes, LED replacements for incandescents, etc) Any chance someone can offer clarification about what is meant by "perceived"? (Quoting from the article page, "The perceived colors under the reference and test illumination ..."
The "perceived colors" can be determined by a human, which isn't subject to calibration, or it can be determined by a device that would be calibratable (if this is a word) to a spectrum based on known wavelengths.
Oppose -- CRI is a very specific and measurable quality of light. Perhaps a better solution would be to create a more general "Color Rendering qualities of Light" topic wherein various measurables both quanititive and qualitative could be discussed
