Product Information

Aside from the type of the light bulb itself, using Kelvin temperature can also help guide you in determining which fixture is right for each room. Whether you need an ambient source of light or one for highly-focused task lighting, keep in mind the following Kelvin ranges:

The lower end of the scale comprises the warmest colors such as orange and yellow. As the scale goes up, the color temperature gets cooler and bluer, thus the higher end of the scale comprises of the bluish white colors.

The higher the Degrees Kelvin, the whiter the light color temperature. Although the whiter lights will appear “brighter” than those of a lower Kelvin reading, the amount of Lumens (measurement for brightness) does not change, and true brightness is not affected. With the advanced technology of CFLs and LEDs, light bulbs now come in a vast range of light color temperatures, providing many options to choose from when lighting your space. gives off a bright amount of blue-white light, similar to that of daylight; best for display areas and work environments where very bright illumination is needed

Lighting with kelvin numbers in the range from 3500K to 4000K are considered neutral white and accentuate lighter colors better than warm white lights.Accuracy needed – When the keyword is precision, you need to install 3000K lights or above. Thus, spaces like kitchens, storage rooms, and even a studio could benefit largely from this kind of lighting. The amount of blue light in 3000K is generally higher than that in 2700K bulbs. Thus, it will more likely to keep you awake and alert. But the difference is of minor significance; it is very slight. Which color temperature suits the rooms in your home? So this means that you can expect a similar color temperature from a 2700k LED light bulb. As we know, incandescent or traditional light bulbs containing filament have their signature yellow-ish color temperature, and a 2700k light bulb is no exception to this. If you have cabinets and appliances of darker, earthy and natural (wooden) textures and tones, going for a soft daylight 3000k light would be suitable, as the 3000k light would illuminate the contrasting colors very well. 2700K vs 3000K for Living Room Traditional incandescent light bulbs illuminate when the filament inside the bulb gets so hot that it begins to emit light. At full brightness, the filament's temperature is approximately 2700 degrees Kelvin, hence the 2700K rating.

You may have felt that a 2700K bulb is too yellow or "dingy" not due to its color temperature, but due to its CRI value. A low CRI value, independent of color temperature, can cause objects to appear washed out and dull. As such, we recommend making sure that if you decide to rule out 2700K bulbs due to your prior experience with them, that you confirm that it is indeed the color temperature you didn't like, and not an issue with its CRI value. Neutral white or soft white is a friendly and clean light best for offices kitchen, bathrooms, workspaces, or garages; giving rooms a whiter, more energetic feel. As discussed earlier, warmer temperatures of white light are best suited for calm and relaxing environments. This is because lights with warm tones such as yellow and orange generate soothing emotions in the human brain. So, if your bulb has a color temperature rating of 2700K, then the color of its light will be the same as the color of an incandescent light bulb. If you like this color, then you should use the 2700K color temperature bulb.From the latest LED Lights to ever since Edison introduced us to the very first electric light bulb in 1879, we have seen everything in the same Soft White light color temperature, measured at 2700K (Degrees Kelvin). The light created by these bulbs has given off a slightly yellowish glow for over 130 years, making the colors in our homes feel warm and cozy the entire time.

Less than 2000K: gives off a dim glow of light, similar to what you might find from candlelight; best for low-light areas where ambient illumination is welcomed, However as bathrooms have tile walls, the color of bathrooms tend to vary. Some bathrooms have neutral colors such as white, beige or other plain colors with light hues. For these kinds of finishes, a 2700k light would be most suitable as the ambience does not need additional lighting. However compared to a 2700k light bulb, the temperature of a 3000k light bulb is relatively neutral. This is because the 3000k temperature has a lower amount of yellow-orange undertones, which gives it a cleaner, crisper look.

If you personally don't like the incandescent light bulb color of 2700K, or you want to be able to have a bit more color acuity, 3000K is most likely your best option. We typically recommend our customers to consider 3000K lighting for kitchen, laundry, bathroom and home office areas where visual tasks are more common, and warmth and relaxation is not the primary objective.
