When it comes to buying LED light bulbs,
there are certain terms you need to understand to ensure you get the right bulb
that is going to provide you with years of use and enjoyment while enhancing
your room to perfection. LED lights focus on more than simply the amount of
electricity that they consume, they also work on colour temperature, known as
correlated colour temperature or CCT.
Correlated colour temperature is the colour of
light which is measured in Kelvins or K's.

3000k warm white is a calm and relaxing light
which is the ideal choice within the residential home. This light can be used
in lamps and lights in the living rooms, bedrooms and hallways. It provides a
welcoming light, which isn't too bright and yet offers you more than enough
illumination to create the ambiance you are looking to achieve.

4000k cool white and 4500k natural white are
both friendly and inviting colours which can be used in any room in the home.
They do provide brighter illuminating than the warmer white of the 3000k, which
is why you often find this colour temperature in the kitchen, bathroom, office
or study.
Up to 4500k will offer you ample illumination
that is slightly brighter than the warmer colours, which is why you may not
want to use this particular option in your bedroom or living area, where you
want the space to feel more welcoming and relaxed.
