Have you ever seen the word Kelvin on LED lights and wondered what it means? When hearing the word Kelvin, you may think of a unit of temperature. That is true, but in Kelvin in LED lights is used as a reference to indicate light color.
Interestingly, the use of Kelvin in LED lights has quite a unique story. Let’s take a closer look so that choosing lighting for your home and other spaces becomes easier and more accurate.
What Is Kelvin in LED Lights?
Kelvin in LED lights indicates the color character of the light produced. This concept comes from the change in color of an object when it is heated.
Imagine a piece of iron being heated. At first, it looks red, then changes to orange and yellow. As its temperature gets higher, its color will appear increasingly white. This color change became the basis for the use of the Kelvin scale.
Although LED lights are not actually heated to thousands of Kelvin, their light color is designed to follow this reference. Therefore, the Kelvin number in LED lights can help you identify whether the light tends to look yellow, natural, or bright white.
Understanding 3000K, 4000K, and 6500K
Understanding Kelvin in LED lights is actually quite easy.
3000 Kelvin (3000K) produces a yellowish or warm white light. This color feels warm and is suitable for creating a comfortable atmosphere.
4000 Kelvin (4000K) produces natural white light. The color is in the middle, not too yellow but also not too white.
Meanwhile, 6500 Kelvin (6500K) produces bright white or cool daylight. This light character feels whiter and brighter.
