Color Temperature

Light color temperature refers to the perceived warmth or coolness of the light emitted by a light source, usually measured in degrees Kelvin (K). A lower color temperature indicates a warmer, yellowish light, while a higher color temperature indicates a cooler, bluish light.

For example, incandescent bulbs typically have a color temperature of around 2700K, giving off a warm, yellowish light. On the other hand, fluorescent lights or LED lights often have a color temperature of 4000K or higher, producing a cooler, bluish light.

The color temperature can affect the atmosphere of a room, as warmer lights can create a cozy and intimate feel, while cooler lights can provide a more crisp and alert ambiance. The choice of color temperature can also depend on the purpose of the room, such as using warmer lights in a living room or cooler lights in a workspace.
