I have this giant box here today because I wanted to tell you guys every bit of information that I know about Kelvin temperature because it's something that I'm ridiculously passionate about. I say ridiculously because most people don't even care one whit about it, but I want to make you care about it. So I'm going to tell you a little bit about it.
For every lamp that you buy, you have to buy a light bulb or if it's LED, it comes with light bulbs already installed, and each one of those light bulbs has a Kelvin temperature.
I'm sure there's some scientific meaning behind what that is but, in general, when you look at it, it is the warmth and the color of the light bulb that you see.
Kelvin temperatures range from about 2000 to 2500 Kelvin all the way up to about 8000 Kelvin. And that light, if you can imagine it on a chart, at the very low end is a very orange light and on the high end, is a very blue light.
My perfect number is 2700 K so if you look at this box, for each light fixture that you purchase, you will see Kelvin temperature, the gradient of light, and you'll see a number. It'll have a K behind it like this one, which is the Kelvin temperature. Read more...
