Colour temperature means whether an LED emits warm or cool light. In simple terms, the colour temperature of a lamp specifies the colour of its light: from yellowish (warm) to bluish (cool).
When choosing a new lamp, you should therefore have a closer look at the Kelvin value printed on the packaging. Warm light colours will have a value between 2,700 and 3,300 Kelvin. Neutral white light comes in values between 3,300 and approx. 5,300 Kelvin. Bright shop lighting, where daylight white luminaires are used, reaches values above 5,300 kelvin.
The colour temperature of lamps has a similar effect on our well-being as sunlight.
The difference between colour temperature and temperature
Colour temperature has nothing to do with the temperature in degrees Celsius. Think of it this way: the hotter the sun, the colder the colour temperature of light. Colour temperature therefore means the light colour and not heat.
The effect of the colour of light on our mood
Daylight white light:
As the name suggests, this light is just like daylight at noon. Bright light makes us feel well and it helps us concentrate. Daylight white is therefore a perfect light for work areas. Choose a lamp with over 5,300 Kelvin if you want to foster concentration and motivation in the workplace.
Neutral white light:
This type of light creates “objective” lighting. A great choice for the kitchen or bathroom. Paulmann products between 3,300 and 5,300 Kelvin give off a neutral white light.
Warm white light:
Warm white light is similar to natural light at sunset. The redder it is, the more relaxing an effect it has on us. We recommend choosing lamps emitting between 2,700 and 3,000 Kelvin for cosy and relaxed hours at home.
