LED Bulb Color Temperature Guide

In the past few years, LED lights have become increasingly popular. This is mainly because they have many advantages over incandescent lamps. A major advantage of LED bulbs is that you can buy bulbs of different colors to best suit your personal taste. If you use any household light bulbs other than incandescent lamps, you will undoubtedly notice that lamps that provide "white light" are no longer just white light. Our company provides single-socket string light.

The characteristic of the light emitted by the bulb is called color temperature and is measured in Kelvin. You will usually see these numbers range from about 1000K to 10,000K, and most bulbs are rated between 2500K and 7,000K. The light bulb at the lower end of the scale is called "warm white", usually yellow or gold under its light and the light bulb at the high end of the scale is called "cold white", and the light is usually real white.

Choosing the color temperature for LED bulbs is a matter of personal preference, but there are other things to keep in mind. The purpose of lighting is undoubtedly a key issue. Most experts recommend that the area used for work tasks or reading is best lit with a light bulb at the cooler end of the spectrum. Conversely, at the warmer end of the spectrum, areas for social interaction can be better illuminated with light bulbs. Therefore, the study area will be ideal for cooling white LED bulbs, while the dining space is more suitable for warm white LED bulbs.

Color temperature also affects the appearance of colors in the space. A room with a warm, earthy color will be more suitable for warm LED bulbs, while cooler colors (such as green or blue) will be more suitable for use with cool LED bulbs. The atmosphere of the space is also related to appearance. For soothing and quiet spaces such as restaurants or backyards, relaxation is the atmosphere you want, and warm white light bulbs will work best to provide a cozy fireplace feel. Bright, vivid, and airy areas are more suitable for the use of cool white bulbs.

Another big factor to consider when choosing LED bulb colors is completely subjective: personal preference. If you are not familiar with LED bulbs, you may find warm white bulbs are more familiar; warm bulbs are closest to the color temperature range of 2700K to 3,000K, corresponding to traditional incandescent lamps. Remember, just like some people like to paint their houses with tan, red or other warm colors, while others prefer blue and bright green, some people prefer white LED bulbs, while others prefer white LED bulbs.
