We frequently get asked to explain the difference between light source color temperatures, and we have clear answers that even lighting neophytes will understand. More commonly, however, customers wish to know which
color temperature will be best for a particular application. There is no good answer to this, sadly, because it comes down to personal preference, and personal preference really, really varies. We do invite people to visit our lighting lab, where we can demonstrate how color temperatures can impact environment. After a visit to the lab, most customers are able walk away with a clear winner for their particular applications.
Below are photos of the same four items illuminated by a 2700 Kelvin (warm white) metal halide light source on the left and a 4000 Kelvin (cool white) metal halide light source on the right. Restaurants often choose warm white, while cool white is very popular in office environments.
Contact us to schedule a visit to our lighting lab, which is in our Madison Avenue office, in New York City.
