Lighting is an effective way to change the mood in a room. While dimmers and programmable lighting seem to be gaining popularity, one underused way to light a home interior is with LED backlighting.

The TLCI value is averaged from the 24 colors from the MacBeth Color Checker Chart with the maximum value of 100 being the best. Light sources that score a 90 or higher are often seen as high quality light sources that will cut down on post production time.

Like anything in home design, it always settles on what you love. If you want a super-modern bright space-ship feel for your bedroom, you’ll want to have a cool light that’s super bright.

So, most of us immediately jump to LED tape lights as the ideal way to ‘outline’ an object, it doesn’t mean that they are the only product you can use. Try it out and see if you like the look because LED tape lights offer the most consistent glow along the entire length.

Brightness is measured in lumens. The higher the lumens, the brighter the light. If you want your LED backlighting to be comparable to a 60-watt incandescent, go for an 800 lumen light.

Selective backlighting involves planning. Backlighting doesn’t mean that you have to outline everything in the room. It can look a little ‘Star Trek’ if you outline every picture, shelf, etc., in a room. And it can get a little visually frenetic. Your eyes will be in lighting overload and it will look more like a kid’s party place at the local bouncy-party place than your slick living room. Instead, focus on the TV or the mantel or that treasured wall art you created with your family.

After extensive testing we’ve determined the following:4x5 Light Source Basic 99 CRI: Scored a 98.3 for TCLI and 99.0 CRILight Source Mini 97 CRI: Scored a 98.0 for TCLI and 97.3 CRIThat means that scans from either of these light sources will show effectively no difference even in tricky color scenes. If you’re scanning 35mm and 120 film our Light Source Mini 97 CRI is absolutely the right choice for you.

One of the best features of backlighting is that if you use lighting that’s battery operated or plug-ins, it will be easy to experiment and change the mood depending on the season and the reason.

Designer Tip: Backlighting a mirror creates drama in the bath and it also can serve up a mood changer for evening baths. And, even serve as a stylish way to light it as a night light.

Backlighting is what it sounds like: lighting that illuminates objects from behind. When you light from behind– a mirror, bed, artwork or TV—the object looks like it’s glowing. It’s lighting for big drama and a cool feeling. Backlighting is also a sneaky way to create modern mood lighting without having to spend a ton of money, or time, to make it happen.

CRI is a metric used to tell us how a light source renders color based on human perception. What this does not tell us is how this light will render on film or in our case, a digital camera. The TCLI value will give us a more complete view of color accuracy and more directly relates to film scanning. CRI is often the metric given when comparing light sources in our industry, though TCLI is perhaps more critical.

Recently there has been a lot of discussion about how CRI and TCLI should be used to compare light sources for film scanning purposes. We’ll break it down for you!
