Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are characterized by impaired colour rendering, due to their low illumination capability near the blood-red edge of the visible spectrum. Red light output by a light emitting diode (LED) has a relatively narrow spectral distribution, and LEDs are able to produce red light with reasonable efficiency. Blending the light output of a CFL with a small amount of blood-red light emitted by one or more inexpensive LEDs improves colour rendering, while reducing the overall energy cost of operating the CFL-LED hybrid lamp.
