Warm white LED or cold white LED. Which light to choose and for which function?


Rather cold white or warm white?

While halogen spotlights and incandescent lamps usually only have a warm white light approaching a shade of yellow, LED bulbs to have the advantage of being available in several variations, depending on their whiteness. Between neutral white, warm white and cold white, all tastes and possibilities are possible with this technology. These appellations actually correspond to different color temperatures, the value of which acts as a reference for choosing the right lighting according to the use of the room and the habits of the occupants. These different colors affect the overall comfort of each room, given their positive or negative effects on the relaxation, concentration, and tone of residents.


The warm white for living rooms:
Warm white refers to light with a color temperature between 2700 ° K and 3000 ° K. This light is comparable to the nuances of natural light as the sun begins its descent in the afternoon. Soothing and softer, the warm white is, therefore, suitable for rooms where a relaxing, friendly and somewhat felted lighting is required. Warm white LED bulbs are more recommended for the bedroom, dining room, living room, and bathroom mirror.

The cold white for the workspaces:
The cold white corresponds to a color temperature varying beyond 5500 ° K. This light is closer to the midday sunlight. Unlike warm colors, the cold white offers a very accurate rendering of the bodies and objects it illuminates. The images perceived in this light thus appear more accurate, more precise. Cold white LED bulbs are therefore recommended for places and spaces that require powerful and invigorating lighting. The workshop, the garage, the kitchen, the hairdressers and other workspaces - product display, shopping center, etc. - are therefore best suited to cold white light.

Between warm colors and cold colors, the neutral white light is a case almost apart. It's color temperature revolves around 4000 ° K and 5000 ° K allows it to illuminate optimally busy areas that require a powerful glow, but frank. This shade of white is particularly applicable to corridors, passageways, stairs, and other kitchens and bathrooms.

Cold light, warm light. What does this mean? "Hot" light and "cold" light: by what criteria? On the boxes of ordinary halogen lamps as on the labels of LED lamps, the mentions "hot color" or "cold color" are ubiquitous. Despite their apparent meanings, these terms actually evoke the sensation felt by the observer in relation to the color emitted by the light source. These appellations do not, therefore, designate the sensation due to the rise in temperature caused by the lighting. Rather, it is called the color temperature or the color of the light, whose intensity is measured in Kelvin K. This index makes it possible to estimate whether the white light is cold - in other words, closer to the shades of blue - or hot. That is if the white light is closer to the shades of yellow (and red). The color temperature is, therefore, an important index for measuring the degree of whiteness of natural light or light emitted by an artifici...
