Yes this is it. It looks like TLCI important for color rendering in video recording… But does it matter for film scanning ?  
Or am i really nitpicking here ?  
I found this page with a huge database of CRI(Ra) CRI(Re) TLCI and some more color accuracy score for LED light source [https://indiecinemaacademy.com/understanding-complete-led-database-testing-procedures/](https://indiecinemaacademy.com/understanding-complete-led-database-testing-procedures/)  
I’m kinda overwhelmed with info right now…
