Warm vs. Cool Light: How to choose the right interior color temperature?

on

Color temperature refers to the change in color that the human eye perceives when light waves are at different energies. Color temperature in Kelvin (K) as a unit, the range of 2700K (warm temperature) to 6500K (cool temperature). In nature, sunrise and sunset color temperature is 2500K-3500K, and moonlight is about 4100K.

Different color temperatures will affect the feeling brought by the lighting, thus affecting our mental activities and work efficiency. Therefore, when choosing color temperature, you should consider the purpose of using a room or interior space.

Most lights used in daily life have three color temperatures: 3000K (warm white), 6500K (cool white), and 4000K (neutral white). Warm color light gives people a soft feeling, can create a relaxed, cozy atmosphere, and is conducive to improving sleep; cool color light gives people a refreshing, bright feeling, which can enhance vitality, and improve concentration.

ALUSSO gives the following suggestions for choosing the color temperature for your indoor space:

Warm light (2700K-3000K) suits living rooms and bedrooms. The lower the color temperature, the more it can maintain the secretion of anti-black hormones. You can adjust the light to warm light before going to bed.

Neutral light (3000K-4000K) is suitable for the bathroom and kitchen. This cleaner light allows for greater concentration, perfect for tasks that require attention to detail, such as chopping vegetables or applying make-up.

Cool light (4100K-5000K) is suitable for dens and work areas. Although the high color temperature can make people more concentrated, the greater the color temperature, the stronger the harmful blue light energy, and blue light on the retina of the greatest degree of harm, so we should try to avoid higher color temperature light, love and care for our eyes!

We recommend ALUSSO 2700K-6500K CCT adjustable recessed lighting,  whether you want a cozy and warm feeling or a fresh and vibrant environment, ALUSSO recessed lighting can easily meet your needs.
