Product Information

Aside from the type of the light bulb itself, using Kelvin temperature can also help guide you in determining which fixture is right for each room.Whether you need an ambient source of light or highly focused task lighting, consider the following Kelvin ranges: Have you ever wondered what these numbers mean and how do they differ from each other? Well in this article we’ll cover everything there is to know about 2700k vs 3000k light bulbs. When searching for home and residential LED lighting products, you will oftentimes come across a choice in color temperature between 2700K and 3000K. Although both are oftentimes considered to be "warm white" - there certainly is a noticeable difference in color between these two color temperatures. If you're unsure about which to choose, read on for our perspective! It is important to be familiar with the way different color temperatures look like. This will help you choose the colors you prefer for your bathroom. These are very personal choices. 2700K and 3000K lights are preferred by most homeowners because of their familiarity with these types of lights and because these lights are very comfortable. Seeing these lights in person will help you know what is best for your home. A kitchen with a completely white cabinet setup may give off a very cold and harsh ambience under a 3000k light. In this case, introducing warmer light temperatures by using a 2700k light bulb would be appropriate.

Warm white bulbs and lights of 2700K is preferred for the kitchen light. The appearance of your food whether cooked or raw will be particularly appetizing. But, since kitchens are used as workspaces and most homeowners want to show it off to their guests, it would also be ideal to use 3000K lights. The ambiance this creates will help balance out lights that are coming in from the windows. Accuracy needed – When the keyword is precision, you need to install 3000K lights or above. Thus, spaces like kitchens, storage rooms, and even a studio could benefit largely from this kind of lighting. The amount of blue light in 3000K is generally higher than that in 2700K bulbs. Thus, it will more likely to keep you awake and alert. But the difference is of minor significance; it is very slight. Which color temperature suits the rooms in your home?If more than one type of ambient light is installed, e.g. down lights and cove lighting, choose the same color temperature for both to ensure an even, harmonic effect. Though many people seem to prefer warm white, rooms that are decorated with light colored furniture and crisper colors, like white, blue and light grey e.g. in a modern kitchen, can benefit from a more neutral, cooler light. We’ll talk about how you can use the Color Rendering Index when it comes to making the best choice. Additionally, we’ll discuss which of these lights are best suited for your particular needs.

lights are still within the warm white category; hence, the difference between these two graduations is minimal. That being said, you’ll notice a difference in the small details and the effect it has on the decoration. Basically, the Color Rendering Index is a measuring method which indicates how much an artificial light can replicate the effect of a natural or standard light source. As the 2700k and the 3000k lights sit pretty closely on the kelvin scale, realistically speaking you will not notice a significant difference between these two. A similar analogy would be to say that an espresso shot has a higher caffeine content than a cup of coffee, but 5 cups of coffee at 10 pm will most certainly affect your sleep quality than a single espresso shot at 10 am.

As long as a 2700K and 3000K light source are not immediately next to each other (e.g. mixing them in a single 6-lamp ceiling fan light) the two color temperatures can blend fairly well in a single space, without any aesthetic concerns. You may have felt that a 2700K bulb is too yellow or "dingy" not due to its color temperature, but due to its CRI value. A low CRI value, independent of color temperature, can cause objects to appear washed out and dull. As such, we recommend making sure that if you decide to rule out 2700K bulbs due to your prior experience with them, that you confirm that it is indeed the color temperature you didn't like, and not an issue with its CRI value. The human vision system has an impressive way to adapt to ambient lighting conditions. What this means is that depending on what your eyes have adapted to, its appearance can differ. When our eyes are used to a warm-white, residential color temperature of 3000K, the jump to 4000K represents a smaller 1000K difference. Not everyone likes the 2700K incandescent bulb color, however, and certain installation locations could benefit from a higher color temperature. The primary concern with 2700K is that it can appear quite yellow or orange, such that everything appears "washed out" with a yellow hue. For living rooms and bedrooms, this is typically not a significant concern, but for more task-oriented areas in your home such as the kitchen, you may want to consider 3000K as an alternative.
