Also even limited to visible spectrum, I have not seen any 99 CRI bulbs. The highest one I have ever found are the 98 CRI by YujiLED, but you pay around $35 for a single bulb. It is absolutely not "easy" to get flicker-free high CRI bulbs, let alone ones that cover the infrared range.

Specialized stores or online. If enough people start buying them, they become popular and cheaper.

Phillips, GE, Cree, and others sell high-CRI bulbs.

10 years ago you had to work to find high CRI bulbs but could still find Cree bulbs pretty easily. Now you can get high CRI bulbs at the grocery store.

High CRI bulbs generally have low or no flicker because high CRI is toward the premium end of the market.

IR emission is not a "feature", it's a bug.
