This 8 minute video provides a brief and simple introduction to CRI (Color Rendering Index) and discusses whether or not it is actually important to consider this rating.

It also compares 2 photos to determine how faithfully colours are reproduced with a lower CRI rated bulb vs. a higher rated bulb.
NOTE: This is not meant to be scientific. I was curious so I tried this out and was really shocked with the results so thought I would share. It has made things much simpler for me from a colour correction perspective...basically I need to do less of it now.
