![]() ![]() ![]() This is why larger areas can be illuminated, such as parking lots or athletic fields. The higher the amount of lumens, the more distance is given to adjust for the Lumen count. The scale is referring to the output of lumens measured within a square meter. In this case, we are looking at 1000, 2000, and 3000 Lumens that all have a different intensity to them. The number naturally goes up based on the number of Lumens that are listed. Making the switch from traditional incandescent lamps to energy efficient LEDs? Check out our Incandescent, Halogen & Fluorescent Bulb Conversion to LED Light Bulb Color Temperature blog article to learn the difference between wattage, lumens, and color temperature for LED lights.Lumens are measured by how bright they appear to our eyes. While the soft and warmer temperatures are often found in under cabinet lighting applications or where dimmable LEDs may be preferred. Examples of cool color temperature LED lighting applications include work environments, commercial & retail displays, and study lights. ![]() The “higher” cooler color temperatures can be used to replicate natural daylight and are often found in industrial or specific commercial applications where ultra-bright cool light is required. What applications are best for 5000K and 6500K LED Lights? 2700K light color is much softer and warmer than 4000K light color, and is more similar to a traditional incandescent light bulb. 3000K color temperature is more neutral compared to 2700K or 4000K. 3000 kelvin light is the most common choice for LED lights for homes and is often referred to as soft white. This range of color temperatures provides the greatest flexibility for usable light for both residential and commercial applications. In most residential and commercial lighting applications, LED lighting fixture color temperatures will range from 2700K to 5000K. Higher, cooler color temperatures contain a higher amount of crisp, blue undertones. Lower, warmer color temperatures have red, yellow, and amber undertones. The difference between common LED light color temperatures is the color undertone, if any, that the LED light bulbs contain. Here is a quick guide to understanding LED lighting color temperatures on a scale:ġ700K – dull warm glow, similar to a match flameĢ700K – warm white, similar to incandescent bulbģ000K – soft white, similar to halogen bulbĤ000K – bright white, similar to fluorescent lightingĥ000K – daylight, very bright & similar to sunlightĦ500K – cool white, crisp & blue tinted, similar to a computer monitorħ000K – ultra-cool, similar to bright halogen at highest setting While those with a higher color temperature will appear cooler and sometimes blue. LED light fixtures (LED strip lights, puck lights, linear lighting, etc.) that have a lower Kelvin rating will appear warmer. ![]() LED lighting color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) and can range from 1700K to 7000K, with 1700K being a dull match flame glow and 7000K being bright “blue-ish” in color. Armacost Lighting offers a variety of LED lights in a wide range of color temperatures, including LED strip lights, LED puck lights, and LED tape light kits. LED lighting that has crisp, blue look would have a “cool” color temperature a more yellow looking LED light would be “warm” in color temperature. LED color temperatures can look vastly different from one another and range from a warm candlelight glow to the cool bright fluorescent color. When starting a new LED lighting installation project, a critical decision is determining the best color temperature for the installation. ![]()
