The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black body radiator that radiates light of a color comparable to that of the light source.
Cool white led light spectrum.
There are two main choices we offer you they are between cool white and warm white.
The color temperature of daylight can vary depending on time of day part of year and cloudiness.
Warm white 2700 3750k neutral white 3750 5000k and cool white 5000 8300k.
That was useful for florescent lights but such designations do not work well for led lights.
The higher the degrees kelvin the whiter the color temperature.
An example of this is the cree xm l2 led chip that is available in three full spectrum white varieties.
Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting photography videography publishing manufacturing astrophysics horticulture and other fields.
When it comes to led it is more accurate to talk in terms of wavelengths and to display the actual color spectrum.
Now light colour is not the same as the brightness of the light.

Below is a diagram showing the difference of cool and warm white by using a kelvin scale.
Soft white 2700k 3000k bright white cool white 3500k 4100k and daylight 5000k 6500k.
A cool white led light can be dim and a warm white led light can be bright.
The three primary types of color temperature for light bulbs are.
Grow lights that use florescent bulbs refer to the color of the bulb as cool white has more blue or warm white has more red.
Cool white and the slightly less harsh natural white are much lower demand than warm white for domestic use.
