Colors of Led Lights

Color temperature: rather warm white or cold white?

If there is information to consider in addition to the power and the base of the bulb, it is the color temperature, a number followed by the indication "K" on the packaging. This number is expressed in Kelvin and allows to know the color of the light of the bulb. So if you do not want to find yourself with a neo-futuristic atmosphere instead of a warm atmosphere, follow the guide!

Kelvin value: the color of the light perceived by our eye

The Kelvin measurement unit (K) measures the color of the light reflected by the light bulb we perceive. This color is more precisely called the color temperature and can be classified into three broad categories: warm white, neutral white and cold white.
The lower the color temperature, the warmer the bulb will be in yellow-orange tones. The higher the color temperature, the returned light will be in cool, bluish tones. Then, in the middle of the two extremes is the neutral white, a lighting color comparable to that of daylight. Precisely, the temperature of hot colors are between 2500 and 3300 Kelvin, the colors of the category "neutral white" is between 3300 and 5300 Kelvin and above this temperature range, like the cold colors.

Warm white, neutral white, cold white: their specificities

Warm white: warm atmosphere guaranteed

The bulbs at low color temperatures, called "warm white", are often used to create a friendly atmosphere and relaxation in a living room or bedroom because of their orange light close to that of a sunset. They are indeed appreciated for their softness and their beauty.

Cold white: precision

The "cold white" lighting color is a light that tends slightly towards bluish tints. It is ideal for precision work or to highlight objects. It is generally used to light a cellar, a garage to see places of passage such as corridors or stairs.
Neutral white: a color of daylight
Between the two, neutral white light is mainly used for clarity, so in a bathroom or kitchen for example.

Warm white, neutral white or cold white, the indication kelvin (K) is to be taken into account to perfectly adapt its lighting to its needs.

The LED is not measured in Watt but in Lumen!

Watt : term today entered the common language and assimilated in all minds as designating the power of a light bulb, an important criterion when buying a light bulb. Out, with the invasion of LEDs in our shelves and in our living rooms, today the power of a lamp is no longer measured in Watt ... but in Lumen! A short tour of the Lumen The choice of a lamp is guided by several criteria, aesthetic of course, but also technical, as the power of light emitted by the lamp is its luminous flux. This criterion is measured in the lumen and is represented by the symbol "lm" on of boxes bulb. Yesterday, powerful lighting was chosen in watt, today, the choice is on the luminous intensity which expresses in the lumen. How to convert from Watts to Lumen? To put it simply, one watt is about 10 lumens. It is therefore sufficient to multiply the number of watts of a bulb by 10 to find its corresponding power in the lumen. For example, to get the same light output as a cl...

Why switch to LED?

Image
Accessible for all budgets and economic? The LED is no longer this standard bulb, ecological but without charm and a little too expensive. Today, LED has revised prices down and comes in several models. To finally switch to LED, here are our top 5 advantages of an LED: 1 - LED consumes very little energy LED technology consumes 10 times less than an incandescent bulb, 6 times less than a halogen bulb and even less than a compact fluorescent bulb, already known to consume little. This low energy consumption makes the LED an eco-friendly bulb to be favored to preserve the environment. 2 - LED is economical LED, in addition to consuming little energy, is sustainable since it can last up to 50 000 hours is 50 times longer than a conventional light bulb. LEDs can, therefore, save energy but also financially because it does not need to be changed regularly. 3 - LED is recyclable Unlike incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs are recyclable and above all do not contain mercury so th...
