Colour temperature explained

When it comes to creating the perfect lighting environment, one of the most important factors to consider is colour temperature. At Ecobrite, we know that choosing the right colour temperature can transform your home, office, or business, making spaces feel warmer, cooler, or more productive.

What Is Colour Temperature?

Colour temperature describes the appearance of light from a bulb, measured in Kelvin (K). Lower Kelvin numbers (2700K-3000K) produce a warm, yellowish glow—perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and spaces where you want to relax. Higher Kelvins (4000K-6500K) create cool, bluish-white light that’s great for offices, kitchens, and workspaces.

Why Does Colour Temperature Matter?

• Mood and Comfort: Warm light (2700K-3000K) creates a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

• Focus and Productivity: Cool light (4000K+) boosts focus and is ideal for task-oriented spaces.

• True Colours: The right temperature can help you see colours accurately—a must for art studios, shops, and kitchens.
