Greater than 95 or including 95? Most of the Philips brand dimmable LEDs have a CRI of 95. The eco smart is crap at 80 and that’s to be excepted from the cheap house brand.

The in ceiling lights I bought to replace a bottom dollar Amazon light was are 94 and I’m pretty sure I bought the cheapest I could that would change temp to match my existing ones.

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

Looks like GE’s Sunshine brand has a CRI of 97 and is $8.99 on Amazon.

Legit helpful reply. Thank you.
Wifi bulb with an App? Now I have to worry about light bulb security and it selling me out?
No one is forcing you to use it. I have WiFi switches and bulbs. I prefer switches over smart bulbs but I like automating both.

If your paranoid out them on a VLAN that doesn’t have access to your network or don’t connect them at all.
