@@tomalex4806 Thanks for the feedback, but while I agree the 'warm white' makes me feel more comfortable compared with the real white lighting in a bedroom, it does not give me a sense of feeling 'warm' so I am still confused. :)
@@RichardLee-bm2xh I take it as a warm glow. The warm white lights give off a comfortable warm yellowish glow whereas cool white gives off a clinical sort of Hospital Lighting sort of feel. Not very relaxing, in my opinion, in say a bedroom or lounge room.
Took me a moment to understand you English😁 I speak American English so sometimes hard to understand all words in other English speaking countries. Anyway your video was very clear on the explanation. I always put daylight bulbs everywhere in the home but I will switch the bedroom lights out.
wish to also remind that lighting also depend what color your walls are. If you have really cool colors in places that needed warmth, pick the "warm white". if you have warm colors paint and you still go with warm white i can assure you you will feel the heat, and its uncomfortable. Especially if you live in places that have strong exposure to daylight. bear in mind that Cozy lights like those warm cozy yellow lights are not meant for full room illumination. Its meant to be ambient light source, it reminds people of a warm limited light source like a fireplace. If you install downlight of the whole room with this temperature, its gonna wreck your eyesight due to the light altering color saturation
My apartment building has a windowless mailbox room. The current ceiling downlights are all daylight colour (5700K), which is probably the most appropriate. Although to me it looks blue and a bit odd. I thought about changing it to cool white.
What confuses me is that the ‘warmer’ light has a lower K temperature than the ‘cooler’ light. It seems like the higher temperature number should go with the warmer light.
Thanks great video, if you don’t mind me asking I work from home in a dark room with barely any natural light, no windows in the room, what lighting from the three would you suggest?
Hi Yunus, because it's a work setting I would look at a 4000k or 5000k. If you prefer it to look more like daylight then a 5000k will work best. You could look at buying a tri colour light which has the option to change the light with a switch on the light it self to all 3 temperatures.
Pretty much so, yes, but the best I find would be to stay between 2700K to 3000K (K stands for Kelvin) for the warm light if you want to have a calmy/chilly environment, or go with a more natural/cool looking light of around 3700K-4000K (K stands for Kelvin), to be able to read books and make it healthier for your eyes cause if you wear glasses then warm light is not ideal if you're trying to read a book or watch TV because darker environment puts more strain on your eyes and they get tired quicker, but depends on different situations. Warm light can also make it easier on eyes which also benefits them healthwise. If you're working from home, you probably want to have natural/cool light near you for better visibility and then after work when you want to chill on a sofa its time to turn on a warmer light. The most important thing is to stay away from Daylight bulbs of 5000K (K stands for Kelvin) and around, just like it said in this video. Not really for at home use. Can always google "Kelvin" light for more info, but in the end, as it was mentioned, it is always your personal preference, so if still unsure, try to buy one bulb of each and then test at home, and see which one you like best.
I think that warm light should be used in the evening and cool in the morning and in the afternoon. I assume that by doing so we will not disturb our circadian rhythms. I'm thinking about what kind of light to use if I work at the computer in the same room as I sleep? It would be nice to have light bulbs like this, where you could change the light depending on your preferences. Well I guess they're expensive. I'll have to look into this topic more closely. Thanks for the video!
This is partially wrong. Yes, 3700K-4000K would make it natural/cool light, cool and natural are identical, but "Daylight" is what begins from around 5000K and above, which is the brightest. This is easily confirmed by doing proper research.
@@liquidmilk5323 Read properly! I didnt even mention "daylight". 3700-4000 is rated as warm and it is. Daylight is cool white and start at 5500k. Maybe you do your research!
@@Gieszkanne You're still wrong. My research is fine as I work in the field. If you think you're saying it right then you're phrasing it wrong. No need to get aggravated. Cool white has nothing to do with 5K, that was the point. Cool white and natural white are kind of the same thing, so dont call a "cool white" a bulb of 5500k like you did in your comment as you're setting false expectations , 5000k-5500k is NOT called a "cool white" and is a "Daylight" bulb. Let me re-phrase it, "Daylight" and "Cool white" are NOT the same thing. Cool white is Natural Light and Daylight is what starts at 5k and above and you mentioned "Daylight is cool white and start at 5500k." That's all im saying, cool white is cool white and daylight is daylight :) No need to get mad when you are being corrected over something you got wrong, that's all, chillout :)
A gaming room would use which lights? By this I mean a room where a computer and a tv are used, that for all purposes is like having a second bedroom for yourself (i don't sleep in this room) I use white 5k but i think is too aggresive. I am however worried if less light is bad when watching tv?
It actually represents the temperature of a pure black body radiating that light. So yellow light have 2500k because that light is radiated by the black body at 2500 kelvin temperature.
Which one would you recommend for long reading sessions at night : warm white or natural white or cool white? I'm currently using a cool white and it's really tearing up my eyes nd making me go insane lol.
You said it yourself, your cool white is tearing up your eyes because it's harsh and it'd supposed to do that, you could try warm white but then you may fall asleep..
What lighting would you suggest for a small clothing and accessories', niche boutique, with low ceilings? Took over the space from an office, and hate the current intense white light. Want i5 to be a space where customers can sit in comfortably, but also get good color representation. I'm think 3500k to 4000k?
Warm white 3000k will always create extra ambience and warmth to your customers. You could even look at a 2700k extra warm light. Look to have narrow beam angles on the lights to point and highlight your products, having small pools of light will create an inviting space people will want to stay in.
Yes, you can but it will be harsh on your eyes and it will trick your brain to think it's still daytime, not ideal. A warm white much better option for nighttime.
What colour temperature should I use for my studying lamp on my desk, for less eye strain and more comfort to my eyes? And also I'm confused about buying a bulb rated 250 lumen or 470 lumen, for my studyings. I have one rated 250 lumen, and it looks bright enough to me, but others say that what brightness good for studying is around 500 lumen. So, which colour temperature and what brightness should I go for?
A warmer light will be easier on the eyes. Whiter lights add blue light which will strain your eyes. Hope this helps. Also 250 lumens vs 470, just comes down to personal preference & what you think you’ll like best
You suggest in the video that when comparing bulbs we should not go by worded terminology used by manufacturers (warm white, cool white, etc.) but instead go by the kevlin temperature of the bulb. However in your video you use the worded terminology (warm, cool, daylight, etc.) without referencing the temperature (I think once you did for the 4000 cool light). Anyway it would be helpful if you could add text indicating the temperatures of the various lights you are describing. Thank you.
A cool white 4000k will portray the colours most clearly, you could look at a high CRI of 90 to show the colours at their truest colour.

the kelvin is the most informative shit ive searched so far for looking for a flood light, thanks
2700k-3500k: Relaxation area
3500k - 5000k: Work and task area
5000k and above: High focus work area
The term 'warm white' sounds confusing as it is simply a yellow light for me.
Warm white means warm.. yellow is a warm colour so it makes sense

Causes headaches... used in offices... makes sense.

Good that my phone a has a blue light filter. Makes my screen emits warm white. Hate the blue light on mobile screens aa it hurts my eyes
Warm white lights around evergreen trees it’s awesome

We have poor natural lighting in the hallway. Would cool white bulbs be appropriate in this setting?

Nice video!! What lumens are good for a gym ?
What’s the best bulb for a bedroom side lamps?
Warm white is best for bedrooms, a warm white will help you relax and unwind to sleep.
Thank you
What is the best light for a display cabinet for model cars?
4000k is neutral white. Cool white starts at 5500k

What about extremely warm like 1800k?
Hi man.
I want to record myself playing guitar..i have a softbox..what light would give it a warm moody look?
2700K Will create the most mood.
What about under cabinet kitchen light w/ darker warmer paint color
4000k cool white is ideal for under kitchen cabinets.
very informative (y)
Thank you :)
I have warm white 3000k
What color temperature would you recommend for backyard patio?
2700k extra ambience
A gaming room would use which lights? By this I mean a room where a computer and a tv are used, that for all purposes is like having a second bedroom for yourself (i don't sleep in this room)
I use white 5k but i think is too aggresive. I am however worried if less light is bad when watching tv?
Cool
Best light for garden gate light?
Warm white, which will increase the ambience.
Do the lighting colour temperatures correlate at all with the actual temperature on the bulbs with how hot they get when you touch them?
No
