Which is Best: Warm White or Cool White?


LED lights are chosen due to their operational abilities when it comes to illuminating your interiors and exteriors. In addition, LED lamps have allowed a lot of flexibility in design and increased brightness efficiency. However, choosing a proper color temperature can become a daunting task.  


Which type of lighting to choose?


Sometimes it’s hard to decide which color temperature is right for your interiors. For example, LED panel lights’ color temperature ranges from 4000K to 6500K. The color temperature of lights is measured by the unit (K) Kelvin. LED panels are generally used inside office spaces and deliver a uniform glow to the given room. 


There are three types of white color temperature available - Warm white, natural white, and cool white. 



Color temperature

Kelvin

Warm white

3000K

Natural white

4500K

Cool white

5000K-6000K


Warm white is generally yellowish and resembles traditional halogen lights. Generally light companies use the terminology warm white or cool white to define the color temperature of the light. Lower is the Kelvin temperature, the light appears more yellowish and if the Kelvin temperature is higher than the lights appear white.



Cool white has the shade of blue and resembles like neon. The perception of lighting depends on the personal taste.



Warm white is a suitable option for living room, dining room, bedroom where soft lighting is required. The illumination is more relaxing and soothing to the eyes.


Cool white lighting is good for kitchen space, garage, workshop, hair salon, business establishments, etc. For traditional and rustic kitchen decor, the best recommended light is warm white. They are best for living areas.


Cool white is good for practical applications. Cool white is also recommended for residential indoors with modern decor and design. They work better with bold wall colors.

LED Tubes: Advantages of LED T8 Light Solutions

Since the launch of LED technology,  The new generation of T8 LED tubes delivers optimum brightness at low power consumption. These tubes are divided into three types. Type A: Ballast Compatible Type B: Not compatible with the ballast  Type A + B: Can work with or without the help of ballast The ballast section controls energy distribution to ensure that the required voltage, current, and waveform are present when a traditional light source like the fluorescent tubes or HID lamps is turned on and operated.  T8 LED bulbs do not require this additional electricity consumption; therefore, eliminating the ballast saves you energy right away because you aren't wasting energy to ballast draw. Each modified fixture uses a few watts less without a ballast. T8 retrofits assist the older fixtures by using the ballast feature to control power consumption and distribute uniform brightness. Usually, the use of ballast has lowered down, giving way to new generation T8 LED tubes. ...
