Do you know that the color of the lamp, that is, the color temperature, will have a certain effect on our mood? When you are in KFC, do you have a very warm feeling? But when you are in the mall, you feel particularly sober. This is all because of different color temperatures. What color temperature should be suitable for different places? Keep reading, this blog will give you some references.

What is color temperature?

Color temperature represents a unit of measurement that contains color components in light. It can be simply understood as the color of light in interior decoration. The unit of measurement is K (Kelvin). The value in front of K provides us with a specific reference for choosing the color of the light.

Why use lights with different color temperatures?

The reason why we should pay attention to the color of the light in the interior design is how to make the light simulate the light of nature, make the indoor light more natural, and let people have a good light experience in the dark.

The color temperature of the light source is different, and the feeling is different, and different colors are needed to express in space. Under a high color temperature light source, if the brightness is not high, it will give people a feeling of coldness; Under the illumination of a low color temperature light source, the brightness will be too high and it will give people a feeling of stuffiness. The lower the color temperature, the warmer the hue (reddish); the higher the color temperature, the colder the hue (bluish).

Since the natural light source in the daytime has a higher color temperature, and the natural light source in the dusk has a low color temperature, the human brain will be more energetic under high color temperature lighting, but under low color temperature lighting, it will think that it is time to sleep. It is advisable to adjust the lighting color temperature according to the time.

What are the relationships between color temperature and brightness?

Under the illumination of a high color temperature light source, if the brightness is not high, it will give people a cold atmosphere; under the illumination of a low color temperature light source, the brightness will be too high to give people a sultry feeling. The contrast of light color: using two light sources with the large light color difference in the same space, the contrast will have a gradation effect. When the light color contrast is large, the brightness level can be obtained while the light color level is obtained.

What kind of lighting is suitable for different environments?

Usually, the warm white light value we call is the light with the color temperature of 2700K-3200K;

• Neutral white refers to lights with a color temperature of 4000K-4600K;

• Positive white light refers to light with a color temperature of 6000K-6000K;

• Cool white light refers to light with a color temperature of 7000K-8000K.

✔️Living room

The main function of the living room is to receive visitors, and the color temperature should be controlled at 4000~5000K (neutral white).

If the color temperature is too high, the space will easily appear empty and cold, while the color temperature is too low will increase the irritability of the guests.

The color temperature of 4000~5000K can make the living room appear bright and create a quiet and elegant environment;

✔️Bedroom

The lighting in the bedroom requires warmth and privacy to achieve emotional relaxation before going to bed, so a warm light source is better.

The color temperature should be controlled at about 2700~3000K, which not only achieves the lighting conditions but also creates a warm and romantic atmosphere.

Placing table lamps at the bedside, designing chandeliers, wall lamps, etc. are also common ways to adjust the color temperature.

✔️Restaurant

The restaurant is an important eating area in the home, and a comfortable experience is very important. It is best to choose warm colors in the restaurant lighting, because from the psychological point of view, eating under warm lighting is more appetizing. Therefore, it is best to choose 3000~4000k (neutral light) for the color temperature, which will not make the food too distorted but also create a warm dining atmosphere.

✔️Study room

A study is a place for reading, writing, or working. It needs a sense of tranquility and calmness so that people will not be impetuous.

Don’t use lights with too warm colors, which will easily cause drowsiness and fatigue, which is not conducive to concentration;

But the study is also a place where you need to use your eyes for a long time, too high a color temperature can easily cause visual fatigue. It is recommended to control the color temperature around 4000~5500K (neutral white), which is neither warm nor cold. It is recommended to control the color temperature around 4000~5500K (neutral white), which is neither warm nor cold.

✔️Kitchen

The kitchen lighting should take into account the recognition ability, and the kitchen lighting should use fluorescent lamps that can maintain the original colors of vegetables, fruits, and meat.

The color temperature is controlled between 5500~6500K (positive white light), so that not only can the dishes be more appealing, also helps the cook to have higher discrimination when washing.

✔️Toilet

A bathroom is a place where our usage rate is particularly high. At the same time, because of its special functionality, the light should not be too dim or too distorted, so that we can observe our physical condition. The recommended light color temperature is 4000-4500K.

Indoor lighting effects are not only affected by color temperature, but also by factors such as color rendering and illuminance. To achieve the desired effect, space requirements, design styles, and ways of use should be comprehensively considered to use color temperature correctly. And usually, space has more functions, so we can choose lamps that can freely change the color temperature and brightness.
