LED Lighting: Color Temperature

LED lighting is a popular choice for homes due to its energy efficiency, longevity, and versatility.

Color temperature scale

One of the great features of LED lighting is the ability to adjust the color temperature to suit your preferences. The color temperature of light is measured in Kelvin (K) and is often described in terms of warm or cool tones. 

Here’s a breakdown of the common color temperature: 

Soft White (2700K – 3000K):
  • Soft white light resembles the warm, yellowish glow of traditional incandescent bulbs.
  • This color temperature is typically rated around 2700K to 3000K.
  • It’s often preferred for living spaces, bedrooms, and areas where you want a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Bright White (3500K – 4100K)
  • Bright white light is cooler and closer to natural daylight.
  • It ranges from around 3500K to 4100K.
  • Bright white LEDs provide a more neutral, energizing light.
  • This color temperature is suitable for kitchens, workspaces, and bathrooms where you need clearer, more focused lighting.
3. Daylight (5000K – 6500K)
  • Daylight LEDs mimic the color temperature of natural daylight.
  • They typically range from 5000K to 6500K.
  • Daylight bulbs produce a crisp, cool light that’s great for task lighting and spaces where you need to stay alert and focused, such as offices or workshops.
