Having trouble deciding between 3000k and 4000k lighting for new home.
2700k vs 3000k reddit. 3500K is still warmish and non-institutional without all the color distortion and other problems warmer lighting causes. The transition between the two temps feels fine. The rest of the old house feels better at 2700K.
Suggested color temperature. 219B 3000K vs SST-20 2700K vs LH351D 2700K. Bright light in the kitchen is ideal for prepping food and reading recipes.
2700 vs 3000K for kitchen lighting. 5000K 250 ppfd 3000K 750 ppfd. Redoing kitchen and will be installing some recessed pot lights 5 some under cabinet lights and two pendant lights on the island.
Ive started mixing 2700K and 3000K too. You can choose either to complement wood furniture and earthy tones. Would like to use LED wherever possible and I noticed that theres a lot of 2700K and 3000K LED potlights.
The difference between 2700 and 3000 is pretty small but you dont need to standardize either. At 5000K you will only be seeing the cool white color temperature in the light. Household fixtures are commonly found in color temperatures on the Kelvin scale of 2700K warm incandescent 3000K warm white halogen and 3500K household fluorescent.
My new Nichia 219B sw30s showed up yesterday so I decided to put one up against an SST-20 2700K and an LH351D 2700K. Both 2700K and 3000K are warm white lights. But since kitchens are so versatile the color temperature can vary.
