The color temperature of LED lamps, it is

LED lights steadily imprint fluorescent lamps, especially incandescent bulbs. One of the main characteristics of any such lamp is the color temperature. That's just about the obscure (at first sight) characteristics will be discussed in this article, as well as we'll look at in which case you should use one or another variant of color spectrum.

A bit of theory

This value does not have an amount of heat given up in the bulb during operation and characterizes the visual perception of the human eye the light emitted. The closer to the natural color of the generated solar, the "warm" is the light of the lamp.

In order to understand the process of getting a particular spectrum of light and capture the essence of association can consider the following experiment associated with heating a piece of metal to a certain temperature. Where you can clearly trace the dependence of temperature rise and changes in the metal glow, beginning with red and ending with purple light.

This experiment allowed to bind to the color temperature of heating is quite specific interval required to acquire color spectrum.

Of course, in principle LED lamps produce a specific color a bit different, but the essence is still the same. To obtain the desired shade requires a certain color temperature.

So, with boring theory finished, let's just move on to our bulbs.

Scale of color temperature

A wide range of the color spectrum of LED lam creates in seemingly the same room completely different atmosphere and, depending on whether it's a bedroom or bathroom, you need to intelligently approach the choice lighting.

In this case, there is no universal solution, because everything is different and one comfortable in the bright afternoon light (6500 K), And for someone nicer than the warm yellow color of the sun at the horizon (By 3400).

Initially, we have you had no choice, as the standard light bulb Ilyich produced only with the figure of 3400 K. But the development of industry and diode halogen lamps brought to our everyday life with your usual "cold" light.

Recommendations for the use of lamps with different color temperature

So let's divide our lamps on certain groups and see what impact they have on our perception of you and feeling.

Focusing on the table values, you can now easily submit a lamp with a color temperature you better buy, for example, in the living room.

Where to watch this feature

These data you can see on almost any packaging. Typically, other characteristics of a general list acquired bulb. Well as many manufacturers additionally duplicate the information on the base of the goods.

That choose to install

If you decide to choose the right lighting in his office or at home, you can certainly find your color by trial and error, but it is better to turn to the normative documents, namely SP 52.13330.2011 "Natural and artificial illumination", where you can find the following recommendations in tabular form:

Output

As you can see, this characteristic is very important now when a new LED lamp, pay attention not only on the price tag and the brand, but also to the color temperature.

Thanks for attention.
