Colour Temperatures
Why is it Important?
A fundamental consideration when choosing lighting is colour temperature.
It is important to select the most suitable colour temperatures when replacing or installing lighting because the correct light temperature can help to establish the mood of a room, supporting with its overall function and enhancing overall experience of the area.
How Do We Recommend The Correct Colour Temperature?
We take into account a number of different factors when advising on the correct colour temperatures.
Existing Lighting
We consider the colour temperature of the lamps you currently have in place.
Unless an alternative colour temperature would be more suitable, we will supply the site with a coloured bulb matching the original.
Setting
We will take into consideration the usage and function of the specific areas and then will consider the required ambience, whether more suitable for comfort or for functionality.
Design
We will take into account the design of your site and its different areas and will supply lamps and fittings in colour temperatures that are most suitable and aligned with your design choices.
Usage
When conducting our initial site visit we will ensure to record the names and uses of each of your spaces so that we can consider the way in which a space is used and then recommend the most suitable colour temperatures.
What Are The Different Colour Temperatures?
2700K / Very Warm White – 3000K / Warm White – Suitable for warm and cosy environments, associated with comfort and relaxation.
3000K / Warm White – 4000K Cool White – Often used in commercial and office settings where productivity is required.
4000K / Cool White – 6500K – Daylight – Most suitable in industrial and outdoor settings.
What Should You Consider?
The Key Considerations
We tailor our lighting recommendations to make sure that they are aligned with the various environments and spaces that you are illuminating. Whether you need to create a very warm and cosy environment in a bar, dining area or bedroom or a bright, cool space to promote high productivity and efficiency, we can cater to all your colour temperature needs.
