This tube is 20 years old now and still going strong.
I can't find any LED that have this light quality. 2700K CRI95


I challenge both the color temperature claim and the CRI claim,
and especially the combination. 2700 K would be rather
yellow-orange colored.

No. It's a very, very good combination.
This tube I use now is perfect colored and have high CRI.

I'm searching for LEDs with the same color and CRI.
Here in scandinavia we want warm light.


Standard incandescent are around 3200 K color temperature

Maybe some halogen lights is 3200K.

and do not have over 90 CRI.

Incandescent normally have high CRI, over 95.

100 - according to the definition of CRI, especially the most-usual
color rendering index, which is Ra8. Usual incandescents have CRI of 100
by definition.
