- WHAT IS THE BEST LED COLOR TEMPERATURE? | 5 Color Temperature Demonstration
In this video, Renos helps everyone decide what is the best LED color temperature. Renos demonstrates 5 different color temperatures of led lights. He shows how each one performs in the same room, and he changes the brightness of each light color temperature with a dimmer switch.

Too much focus on the dimmer and not enough on the temperature change
This was a good idea for a comparison video, however the differences in color temperature were not very apparent. This is likely due to your camera's white balance being set to "auto". A better approach would be to manually select a white balance somewhere around 5500-5600K (the daylight-balanced photographic film standard). This would allow the differences to be more apparent, and more similar to how they would be perceived in the room.
as a photographer you are correct!
Yep, a very unfortunate mistake, as I don't really see many photographers interested in lighting for homes, and likewise not may electricians interested enough in photography to document the visuals properly
I'd love love for this tutorial to be refined as a guide photographers and electricians/home owners alike
I live in Alaska and warm lighting is necessary to feel inviting and cozy. This demonstration most helpful as lighting can make or break the environment.
Thank you for taking the time to show the public what the differences look like.
You're awesome. Thanks for taking time making this demonstration.
Thank you so much for the demonstration and for taking the time to help others better decide. Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you for the video! Very helpful! The 2700 k does look warmer in real life than on the video (or it could be just the adjustment of my TV screen).
This is very helpful! Thank you for all the hard work!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! These examples helped me pick the correct lighting for my space. I watched videos explaining kelvin and lumen, and also recommend paint finishes for each room as well.
Helpful vid, thanks! Installing exterior led pots into the ceiling of our veranda and can choose between 2700, 3000, 4000, and 5000k. I prefer the warmer light, but was making the assumption that the lower number also meant lower brightness. Glad to hear I can choose 2700 or 3000 and have the warmer light, but just as much brightness as 4000 or 5000.
This was very helpful. I watched it twice. The second time I watched it I skipped to the shot of each one at it's brightest, and the differences were more apparent. There is no perfect way to do this, but I appreciate this video. I was able to narrow down to the two temperatures I like best for my new home. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, very informative! 👍
Question for you, what would you recommend or what do your customers tend to be happy with? I am leaning towards the 4000K bulbs.
This video was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!
This is great! Thank you! So helpful!
Thanks for your time, definitely a useful video
Helpful video!! Are these warm white? Which is best for outdoor floodlights please? Thank you!
Excellent discussion on the subject. Congratulations.
Great video and I appreciate the time it took to do this test. I would of kept the chandelier because you need a focal point to tie the room together, without it the room looks like an office. I would use 3000K in the cans along the walls and 4000K over the dining table. I use 3000K in my dining room and 4000K in my kitchen. 2700K in my living room and 3000K in the bedrooms and bathrooms. 5000K is too blue.
how is 2700k yellow?
Very nice video, but it would have been helpful to end the video by showing each color for a short time (5 seconds?) at each dimming level one right after the other. eg. at 50%, show 2700k, 3000k, etc. sequentially.
sir which recessed downlight light is best for living room...smd or cob...
and whats the calculation of number of light per 100 square feet.
Thank you, you really helped 🥰
Thank you. It is very helpful.
Do these lights have an automated setting? Could it adjust it's setting according to the time of day
Your camera may be doing a white balance correction which would off set what you see in real life. Also, it is important to know the CRI's of each bulb. Even with all that you demonstration was helpful, Thank you!
I really like the 4000k and 5000k, I don't know....it just makes everything look more modern I guess.
Thank you sir
This video was very helpful in distinguishing the temperatures relative to each other, but I think the way the camera captures color and the way our screens display color may be affecting the way we are perceiving the temperatures in your video. For example, the 2700K light in my room currently is way more warm/yellow than the one in your video.
even my 3000k looks warmer than this 2700k
Also depends on the bulb.
I got a phillips 2700k wanting yellow incandescent type light and it feels almost like the cool white I already had
This video is extremely poor in terms of the temperature accuracy. Mainly because the camera is trying to compensate the white balance when it senses the warmer tones from the lower temperature spectrum. The only way to capture the color temperature correctly is to have someone with experience in cinematography(or at least have knowledge of it) and manually control the white balance of the camera.
@@starvingrtist8714 Agreed. The video is basically useless.
Did you change each of the pot lights for the colour temperature or is the one pot light able to change colour temperature too.
Hi, it's one fixture. I just added a link to the fixture in the description box. Thank you.
Nice video! I didn't see diff between 3500-4000-5000. I like 3000-3500.
amazing test. I have 2300k, 4000k, 5000k and 7000K. On average, I prefer 4000K, which comes closest to brighter daylight. The 2300K is usually too yellow for me. It is similar to candlelight. You might be able to use it while working on a computer, but otherwise it's too yellow. 5000K can perhaps be used as a flashlight or for work surfaces. I have 7000K as a headlamp. With 7000K you can easily clean the house with a vacuum cleaner during the night, because you can see everything that you shouldn't see, like dust etc. So I prefer about 4000K, which you can also dim down a bit if it's too bright. But of course it's a question of taste and depends on the setting. Note that the optimum for lumens is in the range of over 4000K up to 5000K. The luminous efficacy is lower outside this range.
I like 2700K for home lighting, but 4000K for a flashlight. Looking into buying a 3500K flashlight.
I will have nothing in the ugly blue tint 4500K or higher.
Incredible vid!!!!
Nice video, appreciate the testing 👍of the different color temperatures
Warm white sure is my favorite =)
Based on my experience the lower levels are definitely more orange/amber looking. I could not see this in the video so it was hard for me to compare. As you went up you can see the difference in blue color.
what is the name and model of the wafer light that you are using?
Hi, I just added a link to this fixture in the description box. Thank you for asking.
For me only 'dim to warm' do the job decently.
Thank you for the video very informational ! Keep up the good work ! 😄😄👍🏻👍🏻
Wow dude great job
I wish there was a temp constantly on the screen. May want to add a time stamp. There's a lot going on and if I skip back and forth I get lost
I agree. Very confusing video.
You need to set your camera to something like 5000k if it’s auto white balance it’ll look the same throughout all them
The ceiling looks like Swiss cheese. Good for a demo, but definitely overkill for a home.
Ya it looks absurd.
I thought it was the camera but this comment 15:28 makes me think these lights color rating are way off. Different brands might have slight variation but 4000k is definitely still on warm(ish) side.. Can someone comment on this or perhaps I've been wrong my entire life?
It's very hard to find 3500k A19 bulbs. That is the perfect color temperature in my opinion.
I was thinking the same thing, but now that you've said it's hard to find 3500K bulbs, i may have to re-think my choice.
If you do - they are usually NOT dimmable.
3500 is my favorite as well. The manufacturer of the fixture in this video makes several LED recessed lights that can change colors. But you have to buy the most expensive ones to get the 3500K option.
@DJ What determines the brightness level is the lumens level. 3000k/3500k is about kelvins, which is only about colour temperature. If you want something very bright you need to get a high lumens level, regardless of the kelvins.
how did you switch from 2700~5000 on the same lights? Using an app on your phone?
The old-fashioned way! I had to go up in the attic and manually change the color temperature setting on each fixture.
@@RENOS4PROSJOES Wow, good work. Isn't there a way to adjust this through an app on the phone? I'm looking to buy about 25 lights for 2 adjacent rooms divided by a beam on the ceiling (living room and dining room) and cannot make up my mind on which one. I was leaning to the 2700k but the 300k seems alright as well. If I could buy the lights and change the kelvin from an app on my phone that would be great aside from the dimming, is that possible?
Thanks much for the response.
@@geek2330 You would have to buy lights that have those capabilities. The technology in these lights is literally improving every other month. If you wait six months, you probably will end up buying a different light than what you would buy today. Halo has some bluetooth technology that they are rolling out now. Have you already seen this video? : ruclips.net/video/mRbE4dnhwUE/видео.html
@@RENOS4PROSJOES I just watched that video again and really like those lights where you can dim and change the kelvin ratio with the app, but the link is broken in that video....can you check please. I also like that those lights can change the color...!!
@RENOS I really appreciate your effort in making this video. ❤️
The blue lights are the worst. Looks like a doctors office building. Soft white is way more home comfy feeling.
I just went from 2700 Kelvin to 5000 Kelvin and that is just too big of a change! For a kitchen, what is everyone's favorite Kelvin?
For me...4000. Don't mind 3000 though.
I like 2700K for home lighting, but 4000K for a flashlight. Looking into buying a 3500K flashlight.
I will have nothing in the ugly blue tint 4500K or higher.
Omg.. I’m an architect/interior designer and the can light installation looks horrible! You could have just added 8 can lights 4’ spaced
The 5000k light I just changed out looked way more blue than this video. I changed them to 2700k and feels a lot better in here now.
Often time "Color Temperatures" can appear a bit diffrent in recorded than it's real temp in Person.
Plus some Brands LEDs allow some "Color" bleed, so some Bulds in the same Temp range can be a Bit Cooler or Warmer than it's competitors.
@@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven he has auto white balance on
@@kangarookicker6995 That too.
@@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven I have no idea how anybody can beak light above 5000k
@@kangarookicker6995 Me either, anything over 5000k is either for Morgues or a Psychiatric Hospital.
Edit: Which is ironic since look at such cold dead light will drive anyone insane.
WHY do you have so many overhead lights?!?!??!
You can always adjust them with the dimmer if they are too bright. But if you install too few and don't have enough lights, you now have a big problem.
I have watched your video and it is superb!!! I like to have more information of exterior soffit LED pot lights.
what is the Best Led color temperature for my black soffit, red brick exterior.
My electrician installed 4 inches, slim panel 9W = 80w, 750Lm, 4000K Dimmable but the house looks very grayish/white.
It changed the color of the brick to cool tones and looks awful. I tried to use the dimmer to the lowest set but it is very bight light/greyish instead of a low light. I like warmer tones. My other option is 3000K but i am afraid it will be very yellow/golden tones. please help...Thank you in advance, M
I think you should look to your video and look for the color temperature by your eyes
What’s it with people who have a chandelier fixture where they use 2700k and 6000k every other bulb? It drives me crazy.
is 6500k to bright for living room?
IT MORE OF SUN LIGHT COLOR IT GREAT FOR EVERY ONE AND YOUR HOUSE PLANTS

2700K - 2:01
3000K - 6:20
3500K - 10:25
4000K - 15:24
5000K - 20:50
3000k for dining room/bathroom 2700 for bedroom and living room. 3500 for kitchen and 4000-5000k for study are the BEST combos
Thank you this needs to be bumped as the top comment!
I think you neglected to fix the white balance on your camera. Can't see in the video what you're seeing in person.
Add chapters to the video and you'll get more upvotes
5000K otherwise known as "dentists office white"
Personally I love 1800K, also known as "dirty yellow"
I can’t find anything under 2700 k!
I am curious as to why and how too many people unintentionally or intentionally upload so many things without first checking their facts or work or 'arts'. And some of them actively remove or ban comments/users who do not disagree with them or speak the truth.
2700K less insect and mosquito attention.
It would help even more if you stated the color of the walls and drapes
He actually did in general. He said the walls were off white and the drapes were a green sage color. Being specific from what the manufacturer called that particular color "in name" would be different to what another manufacturer would name that shade. So "off white and a green sage" should be enough information to give a general idea with the lighting temps.
I noted that the walls were off-white mainly to clarify that the walls are not the same color as the crown molding and chair rail, which are both bright white. And so that you know that the yellowish tint to the walls isnt being caused by the lights.
2400k??????
4000k 15:32
3500k 10:37
3000k 6:26

Who puts 13 lights in one room 😂
None of em as theyre all single frequency light sources which will never look natural or be comfortable to the eye. But blue light absolutely ruins your sleep patterns and should be avoided at all costs for house lighting. That includeds white and blue white led's. Leaving only warm white as a bio safe alternative. A bad one.
Manufacturers need to work on mutli frequency chips. Else were just bodging together badly designed modules trying to make a good design. Doesnt work.
due palle
Why does this simple thing have to be a stupid 23 minutes long
That is a totally ridiculous number of lights! 4 to 6 is plenty for that room and a chandelier over the table is always a nice look
23 minute video that could have achieved its goal in 60 seconds.
Dumb video. Your camera is set to auto white balance thus we cant see the proper color temperature!
You talk too much, you could do the video in 5 min or less
Too long mann! Keep it simple..
