Lighting plays a crucial role in our everyday lives. The right choice of lamps and luminaires can not only change the atmosphere in a room, but also influence our well-being and productivity. An often overlooked but essential aspect of lighting is color temperature, measured in Kelvin. In this article, we explain what Kelvin means, how this metric is used in lamps and luminaires and how you can make the best choice for your needs.
Kelvin (K) is a unit of measurement used to describe the color temperature of light sources. Unlike brightness, which is measured in lumens, Kelvin describes the color of the light emitted by a lamp. The Kelvin scale ranges from warm, yellowish tones at low values to cool, bluish tones at higher values. If you are thinking about buying a new lamp, the Kelvin value will help you make the right choice.
Choosing the right Kelvin values for your lamps and luminaires can have a major impact on the visual perception and functionality of a room. Different Kelvin values produce different light colors that affect our mood and well-being Regardless of whether you choose a wall light, Pendant Lamp, outdoor light or table lamp, the right color temperature can make all the difference.
Many of our lamps offer the option of adjusting the light color as desired. Thanks to the latest technology, many of our models are dimmable with a remote control. This allows you to change the color temperature and brightness at will, but even more.
Advantages:
Our dimmable lamps are therefore not only functional, but also easy to operate. With the remote control supplied, you can control the lighting from the comfort of your sofa or bed. So you can use a Pendant Lamp in the dining room to a warm white light for a festive dinner, while you can select a brighter, neutral white light for the children's homework.

Choosing the right light color for each room in your home can have a significant impact on your mood, productivity and even your health.
A warm white light color with an intensity of 2,700 - 3,000 K light color is ideal for living rooms and bedrooms where a cozy and relaxing atmosphere is desired, particularly appealing. Warm white light promotes relaxation and helps you to calm down after a long day. Studies have shown that blue and cold light can inhibit the release of melatonin, which is important for a healthy sleep cycle. Warm white light is perfect for the bedroom as it interferes less with your melatonin production and therefore promotes restful sleep.
With a neutral white light color with an intensity of 3,500 - 4,500 K, it provides balanced lighting that is suitable for your work areas as well as rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms. Neutral white light supports clear vision and color fidelity, which is ideal in the kitchen when preparing food or in the bathroom when applying make-up and grooming.
With an invigorating effect, cool white light in the range between 5,000 - 6,500 K is ideal for work areas and offices where a high level of concentration is required. Lamps with cool white light help you to stay awake and focused by promoting alertness and increasing mental performance. Our wall lights, pendant lights, outdoor lights and table lamps are perfectly equipped for your study or commercial office with the option of cool white light.
