Kelvin Color FAQ

LED Lighting Color:

Color Temperature (Light Color) is the measurement of the color of light expressed in Kelvin. The lower the number, the "warmer” the color of light. This is a very important factor in choosing a replacement light bulb, because it can vary greatly between LED light bulbs. Color temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin and is a measure of the part of the color spectrum that is found in light. A simple way to think about this is to compare the light from the sun from sunrise to sunset. At noon the light is bright and white, even more so nearer the equator. At sunrise and sunset the light takes on a more yellow or even red tint. Lower color temperatures will have more yellow, and higher color temperatures will go from yellow, to pure white and eventually to bluish.
