2000K – 6000K (Kelvin) Correlated Color Temperatures (CCT)
When shopping White LED lights, one of the key factors to look for is Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), a rating measured in Kelvin (K) on the hue and tone of the light.
- 2400 K : Candlelight White
- 2700 K : Super Warm White
- 3000 K : Warm White
- 4000 K : Daylight White
- 5000 K : Natural White
- 6000 K : White
As shown above, as the Kelvin rating rises, the light’s color and hue shifts away from warm orange towards a yellowish white when it reaches the mid-3000K area, followed by white without hue between 4000K and 6000K that closely resembles direct sunlight.
Changing the color temperature can completely alter the mood and feeling of a room; for instance, Solid Apollo’s Candlelight White LED strip lights offer the warmest LED light available in the market at a rating of 2400K, perfect for lighting wood & stone finishes, illuminating baked goods in a display case, or accentuating antique displays.
On the other side of the spectrum, Solid Apollo’s 4000K Daylight White LED strip lights simulates the natural color of sunlight. LED Lights in the temperature of 4000K to 5000K such as Solid Apollo’s Natural White Eco 3528 Double Row, excel in hospitality, office environment, and task lighting applications.
In the case of jewelry stores, a pure white 6000K LED light will not only make gemstones such as diamonds sparkle brilliantly but also clearly define the cut and color, capturing the attention of customers.
