Light Reading— Understanding Color Temperature of LED

lighting

May 29, 2013

Many of our customers are now familiar with the idea of a "warm" white or a "cool" white being offered by fluorescent and other light
bulbs.  LED light sources are based on the Kelvin system of measure.  A warm color temperature is typically 3,000K or less.  A "cool"
white bulb commonly has a color temperature of 4,000K and higher on the Kelvin scale.  Most of our fixtures range from 3000K-
2500K, which provides a good source of warm light for home or office use.  Below is a basic scale that gives a good indication of the
range offered by LED sources.
