Final answer:
Natural sunlight has the perfect CRI of 100, but modern LED bulbs have very high CRIs, with some in the 90s. LEDs are approximately 333.33 times more efficient than candles, and there's a potential to double the efficiency of modern LEDs to reach the theoretical limit of 300 lm/W.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question about which type of lamps has the perfect Color Rendering Index (CRI) is related to the efficiency and quality of light sources. The Color Rendering Index is a measure of the ability of a light source to reveal the colors of various objects accurately in comparison to a natural light source. Natural sunlight is considered to have the perfect CRI of 100, which means it shows the colors as they would appear under natural light. Therefore, no artificial light source has a perfect CRI. However, some modern LED light bulbs come very close, with CRIs that can be in the 90s.
Regarding the improvement in lighting efficiency, we can calculate it by comparing the luminous efficacy of the candle and the LED light bulb. The LED bulb has a luminous efficacy of 100 lm/W while the candle has only 0.3 lm/W. Hence, LED light bulbs are about 333.33 times more efficient than a candle. Since the theoretical limit of luminous efficacy for white LEDs is around 300 lm/W, there is still potential to double the efficiency of modern LEDs, which is a factor of 3.
