LED Lighting has seen many advancements over the past couple of years leaving consumers with many options to customize their lighting. One of the most notable options is the ability to choose and or adjust the color temperature of your LED lights. In this blog, we will cover what exactly color temperature is and how to select the best color temperature for your facilities lighting.
What Is Color Temperature?
Color Temperature is a measure used to describe how “cool” or “warm” the light being emitted from a source appears. The spectrum ranges from 1,000K (Amber) up to 10000k (White) but most applications stay between 2,000K – 6,500K. Below is a simple chart we created to help visualize the differences in color temperature.
