Cool White From Warm White - Whats The
Difference?
When you first hear that color is a measurement
in lighting, its quite difficult to wrap your
head around the idea. Hmmm... How does that
work?, you might ask. What do color mean in
lighting? And its even more confusing with LED
lighting than any other previous technology weve
been using.

Theres a lot of good information available all
over the internet. However, some of them seem
contradicting at times. And confusing! Especially
when you try to compare or search for more
information in buying the type of light you need
for your space. For all kinds of use and space,
these important points are what we need to
understand when choosing LEDs 1. The
difference of Cool White vs. Warm White

1. The uniformity across different light fittings
2. The climate in your area

A difference of Cool White vs. Warm White Warm
White and Cool White are measured on the Kelvin
scale, represented by the letter K. Warm White
is around 4000K and Cool White can range from
6000K and beyond. Similar to the traditional
incandescent light bulbs, Warm White LEDs give
off a glowy, yellowy light. Cool White, on the
other hand, is high color temperature and is a
very bright, clean, white light. It closely
resembles natural daylight. When recommending
color temperature to our customers we generally
recommend Warm White for residential and Cool
White for commercial spaces. Why? It is because
Warm White is a much more relaxing, calm light,
whereas Cool White is a very bright light that
can improve concentration. Lighting with high
illumination is required in certain rooms in
homes or spaces that require tasks to be
performed, such as the kitchen, laundry, and
study which could benefit from having Cool White
light. Also, if your space is modern and has a
minimalistic style, then Cool White would look
great as it can help better accomplish a specific
activity.
