Color Temperature

What is Color Temperature?

Color temperature refers to the appearance or "color" of light emitted by a light source, measured in Kelvins (K). It ranges from warm (yellowish) to cool (bluish) tones. Lower color temperatures, around 2700K to 3000K, produce warm, soft lighting, commonly used for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in living spaces or cabins. Higher color temperatures, around 5000K to 6500K, emit cool, crisp light similar to daylight, often used for task lighting, work areas, or outdoor spaces where clear visibility is important.

Choosing the right color temperature affects both the functionality and mood of a space. For marine and outdoor lighting, balancing warm and cool tones helps achieve the desired ambiance while ensuring sufficient illumination for specific tasks or settings.
