Understanding LED Colour Temperature

Understanding LED Colour Temperature

Colour temperature describes the appearance of light and is measured in Kelvin (K). The lower the number, the warmer and more amber the light. The higher the number, the cooler and whiter the light.

| Colour Temperature | Appearance | Best Used In | |---|---|---| | 2000K Ultra Warm | Very warm amber glow | Restaurants, atmospheric spaces | | 2200K Extra Warm | Rich warm amber | Living rooms, bedrooms, bars | | 2700K Warm White | Soft warm white | Living areas, bedrooms, dining rooms | | 3000K Soft White | Slightly cooler warm white | Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways | | 4000K Natural White | Bright and crisp white | Home offices, garages, task lighting |

Which Colour Temperature Should I Choose?

For a relaxed, cosy feel — choose 2700K or lower. This is the most popular choice for living areas and bedrooms as it creates a warm, inviting atmosphere similar to traditional incandescent bulbs.

For a clean, bright feel — choose 3000K or 4000K. These are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces where you need clear, accurate light for tasks.

For decorative or feature lighting — consider 2000K or 2200K for a dramatic amber glow that adds warmth and character to a space.

Mixing Colour Temperatures

We recommend using the same colour temperature throughout a room for a consistent look. Mixing warm and cool bulbs in the same space can create an unbalanced, patchy appearance.
