Raising the standard of light quality
BCM Lighting adopts CRI ≥ 90 as the new standard from 2026.
A strategic decision to deliver an even higher standard of light quality across our product range.
At BCM we believe that lighting is more than illumination. It shapes how people experience spaces, perceive materials, and connect with their surroundings. That is why we are proud to announce an important step forward: starting in 2026, our entire product range will be supplied with a standard Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90 or higher. This decision reflects our commitment to delivering superior light quality and creating lighting solutions that enhance visual comfort and reveal the true appearance of colors. While CRI 80 remains a common industry standard, we have chosen to elevate our baseline offering and make high-quality color rendering the new standard across our catalogues, in both the CORE & MORE and LITE & BRIGHT collections. By adopting CRI ≥90 as our default specification, we aim to provide lighting that allows colors, textures, and materials to be experienced more naturally and accurately, helping designers, architects, and end users achieve the best possible visual results. For us, innovation is not only about developing new products: it is about continuously improving the quality and value we deliver to our customers. This transition marks another milestone in BCM – Benedetti Lighting’s journey toward excellence, reinforcing our commitment to performance, reliability, and the quality of light and life.
