Four points to note about home lighting #2

From the last post, FOUR POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT HOME LIGHTING #1, we knew that the significance of selecting the proper brightness in home lighting. In this post, we are going to introduce that the influence of the CCT (Correlated Color Temperature), one of the main specifications of LED lights, in-house lighting. Just like brightness, different colors of light can bring about a completely different indoor lighting environment. As we all know, the reddish white light, that is, the warm white light will make people feel relaxed and easeful, and the bluish cool white light is beneficial to concentration.

Therefore, it is improper that select the same CCT LED lights in all space of the house. Although the warm white LED light can create a warm and comfortable lighting atmosphere, it is not suitable for the activities that require concentration. Based on this reason, the living room, home office, and kitchen all are the main activity space, which is suitable for neutral white light or the slightly higher CCT LED lights. Likewise, according to the function of the bedroom and bathroom, adopting warm color lighting will be the better choice.

In the posts #1 and #2, we introduced the effect of brightness and CCT respectively in home lighting. From which, we can conclude that both the brightness and the CCT of LED lighting are the key factors to create a reasonable home lighting environment.
