Light Colour -Kelvin
Not sure what to use for lighting, here are some info to help you make a decision.
What is Kelvin in Lighting?
The Kelvin (K) scale measures the colour temperature of a light source—essentially, how "warm" or "cool" the light appears to the human eye.
It does not refer to heat, but rather the tone of the white light emitted:
-
Warm White (2700K–3000K)
Soft, yellowish light similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. Creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
– Ideal for: Living rooms, bedrooms, wardrobes -
Neutral White (3500K–4500K)
Balanced white light with less yellow. Feels clean and natural.
– Ideal for: Kitchens, offices, retail spaces -
Cool White / Daylight (5000K–6500K)
Bright, bluish-white light that mimics daylight. Enhances clarity and focus.
– Ideal for: Bathrooms, workspaces, display cabinets

| Kelvin (K) | Light Appearance | Visual Tone | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2700K | Warm White | 🔸 Soft, Yellow-Orange | Living rooms, bedrooms, cozy ambiance |
| 3000K | Warm White | 🔸 Neutral-Warm | Wardrobes, hospitality, general home lighting |
| 4000K | Neutral White | ⚪ Balanced White | Kitchens, offices, retail spaces |
| 5000K | Cool White | 🔹 Bright White | Bathrooms, workspaces |
