Color temperature and its effect on our mood

Many experts have researched that lighting color can affect your mood. We have also experienced this ourselves. We know what our mood is like on a sunny day and how different it becomes on a rainy day. The color of the light also plays an important role in your current task. Choosing the right color is just as important as the paint in your room. These lighting colors are classified based on temperature. The color temperature of a light source is measured in Kelvin and is determined when it is illuminated. It is basically the luminous appearance provided by a light measured on a scale of 1,000 to 10,000. If there is a lower temperature in Kelvin, it means that the LED lamp emits more yellow light. The order is as follows: yellow, white, and then blue, and so on. Based on the following details, you can learn how to choose the best light for your residential area.
