How to choose color temperature for home lighting?

If the lighting layout at home is not done well in the early stage of decoration, it will be really troublesome to change it later, because the main light source is on the roof, which all involves digging wires, slotting or suspending the ceiling. If the initial layout is not in place, the lighting cannot meet the needs of the family. Even if you use wall lamps, floor lamps, and table lamps to make up for it later, it is unlikely to achieve the optimal state.
What are color temperature and Kelvin?
Color temperature is a measure of temperature, often used in the fields of physics and astronomy. The concept is based on a fictitious black object that emits different colors of light when heated to different temperatures. The object appears in different colors. Just like when an iron block is heated, it first turns red, then yellow, and finally white.
The color temperature calibrated using this method is exactly the opposite of what the general public thinks of “warm” and “cold”. For example, people usually feel red, orange and yellow are warmer, white and blue are cooler, but in fact the color temperature of red is the lowest, then gradually increasing, are orange, yellow, white and blue, and blue having the highest color temperature.
Color temperature is measured in Kelvin and is used on a light source to indicate the color of the light, such as cold or warm light. Which color temperature you choose will directly affect the lighting atmosphere of the room, so everyone must have a certain understanding of this concept.
The higher the Kelvin number, the cooler the light emitted by the light source, while the light emitted by the lower Kelvin number light source is warmer and atmospheric.
Kelvin Scale – Each temperature emits a different light and atmosphere, so you should pay more attention before choosing a light source.
What color temperature light source should we choose?
Choosing a color temperature should start with considering your lighting needs, the same as choosing the type of fixture you want. Functional lighting requires a higher color temperature, while in order to maintain a relaxed mood, a lower color temperature is suitable.
When we choose lamps, we generally encounter the following most common color temperatures:
★ 2200K – 2500K: This is a very warm light that may be slightly pinkish. This type of light source is suitable as an ambient light.
★ 2700K – 3000K: Warm, pleasant light color, light yellow in color. Light sources in this temperature range are suitable for functional and general lighting in most rooms, such as kitchens, halls and living rooms.
★ 4000K: Can simulate the lighting effect under the bright sun during the day. This light is ideal for functional lighting such as table lamps in the home or office/vanity lights in the bathroom. Lamps with high color temperature are not ideal for creating a casual and comfortable atmosphere.
★ 5600K: The temperature is very close to that of sunlight. The light from this type of lamp will make people feel very dazzling and cold, so it is rarely used in home lighting. This type of color temperature light source is more common in public environments such as workplaces and shops.
