Outdoor lighting can not only provide basic lighting for people’s night activities, but also beautify the night environment, enhance the night scene atmosphere, and improve comfort. Different places use lamps with different lights to illuminate and create atmosphere. Color temperature is an important selection factor for outdoor LED lamp selection. So, what color temperature is suitable for different outdoor landscape lighting? Today, LED lamp company TIANXIANG will teach you the golden rule of color temperature selection in 3 minutes to avoid 90% of misunderstandings.
1. Secret behind the color temperature value
The color temperature unit is expressed in K (Kelvin). The lower the value, the warmer the light, and the higher the value, the cooler the light. Remember three key value nodes: 2700K is classic warm yellow light, 4000K is natural neutral light, and 6000K is cool white light. The mainstream lamps on the market are concentrated between 2700K-6500K. Different spaces need to match the corresponding color temperature to achieve the best effect.
2. Color temperature of outdoor LED lamps
The color temperature of outdoor LED lamps will affect their lighting effect and comfort, so it is very important to choose the color temperature reasonably for the use of outdoor lamps. Common outdoor lamp color temperatures include warm white, natural white and cold white. Among them, the color temperature of warm white is generally around 2700K, the color temperature of natural white is generally around 4000K, and the color temperature of cold white is generally around 6500K.
Generally speaking, it is recommended to choose a neutral color temperature of about 4000K-5000K for outdoor lamps. This color temperature can make the lighting effect achieve good brightness and comfort, and can also ensure the accuracy of color reproduction. If you need to use lamps in some special scenes, such as outdoor wedding scenes, you can choose warm white lamps to increase the warmth, or choose cold white lamps to increase the sense of ceremony.
