What is the difference between a warm white and neutral white LED?
The colour temperature of LEDs is measured in Kelvin (K). Lower K values indicate warmer, more yellowish light, while higher K values indicate cooler, more bluish light.
Warm white LEDs have a colour temperature typically around 2700K to 3000K, producing a warm, slightly yellowish glow. Neutral white LEDs, on the other hand, have a colour temperature around 4000K, offering a cleaner, more neutral white light without the yellow tint of warm white.
When dealing with an ecologically sensitive site it is best, if the specifications allows, to use a warm white LED as research tells us that they tend to be less harmful to species such as bats.
Lighting design can be complex which is why it is best left to the experts. If you need a street lighting design, please feel free to get in touch at info@mma-consultancy.co.uk or for more information on services that we can provide please check out our website at www.mma-consultancy.co.uk
