Color temperature

LED color temperature refers to the color appearance of light emitted by a LED bulb or fixture. It is measured in degrees of Kelvin (K), and typically ranges from warm white (2700K-3000K) to cool white (5000K-6500K). Warm white LEDs have a yellowish hue and are often used in residential settings where a cozy, inviting atmosphere is desired, such as living rooms and bedrooms. They can also be used to highlight wood finishes and warmer colors. Cool white LEDs have a bluish or cooler hue and are often used in commercial settings where a brighter, more energizing light is desired, such as office spaces, retail stores, and warehouses. They can also be used to highlight cooler colors and modern design elements. Neutral white LEDs (3500K-4000K) fall somewhere in between warm and cool white and are often used in settings where a balance between brightness and warmth is desired, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces. It's important to choose the right color temperature for your space, as it can greatly affect the mood and atmosphere. When selecting LED lighting, consider the function and purpose of the space, the colors and finishes in the room, and the desired mood or ambiance.
