question

What is CRI of this light?What is effective wifi distance btw. iPhone & Kick?
Asked by: Anonymous
The manufacture has tested the WiFi at 45 meters (150 ft) without problems. If it is used in a noisy environment (if there is a lot of other WiFi communication going on) the range may be reduced significantly. The Kick is a full color light and a CRI number would not really characterize it well. Keep in mind the design intention of the Kick. It is not designed as a general purpose white light. It is great for adding drama, and for experimenting with color and with video.
