LED STRIP KITS
BY COLOR TEMPERATURE

When we buy LED strips, one of the most important aspects to consider is the color temperature. The LED strip by color temperature is the tone that we choose to illuminate our space and bathe it with light in a certain way.

The LED strip by color temperature has a double function: on the one hand it serves to set what we want to illuminate within a space so that the atmosphere is logical and according to the environment. On the other hand, it serves to modify the behavior of people within that space.

It is scientifically proven that the color temperature will determine or influence how people behave or feel inside that place.

This is how, depending on the temperature, people can: relax, fall asleep, concentrate, wake up, calm down, become upset, accelerate ... and an endless number of sensations that are going to be affected or altered by the Light.

HOW IS THE LED COLOR TEMPERATURE MEASURED?

The color temperature of the LED is measured in degrees Kelvin. The higher the degree the temperature will be colder, the lower the degree the warmer.

At LUMSTOCK we like to simplify the LED subject so we have classified our products into 3 categories: warm white, neutral white and cool white.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE IDEAL COLOR TEMPERATURE FOR A SPACE?

Let's be honest with you, there is no formula or answer that indicates the perfect temperature for a space. In the end ... they all work if they are to the personal taste of the one who is installing them.

However, there are some recommendation guidelines when choosing the temperature "

WHEN TO CHOOSE COLD WHITE?
The cold white color temperature is recommended to be used when high degrees of concentration are needed in people who work. For example, offices and factories.

It is also ideal when you want people to have impulsive or quick buying behaviors. For example, in a fast food restaurant the ideal light is cool white since we expect people to eat and leave the stalls vacant… or in inexpensive department stores, where the expected behavior is compulsive shopping.

The light with cold white temperature is also ideal to illuminate white line, jewelry, crystals, glass or any other product which, increased its brightness, will look more attractive.

WHEN TO CHOOSE NEUTRAL WHITE?
The neutral white color temperature is ideal for use in spaces where it is required that people feel comfortable but in a state of attention.

This temperature must be chosen when you need the space to look as neutral as possible and at the same time people are in a state of alert but also of serenity.

For example: shops, restaurants, supermarkets, offices. It is also ideal for circulation spaces such as corridors, halls, lobby. In the home it is the perfect temperature for many areas of the house.

WHEN TO CHOOSE WARM WHITE?
Finally we come to the warm white color temperature. This temperature is ideal for spaces where relaxation and tranquility are required: bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, waiting rooms, spas, restaurants.

Warm white is the PERFECT light temperature when you need to stage luxurious and expensive settings. It is ideal for lighting brand shoe, clothing, handbag stores. chocolatiers, wine shops, still lifes and general delicacies shops.
