Warm lighting typically refers to lights that emit a yellow or orange hue, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It is often used in residential areas, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas, as well as in restaurants and hotel lobbies.
Cool lighting, on the other hand, refers to lights that emit a blue or white hue, creating a bright and energetic atmosphere. It is often used in commercial and industrial settings, such as offices, hospitals, and retail stores, as well as in outdoor lighting. Cool lighting is also used in spaces that require task lighting, such as kitchens and workspaces.
The main difference between warm and cool lighting is the color temperature, measured in Kelvins. Warm lighting has a color temperature of around 2700K-3000K, while cool lighting has a color temperature of around 4000K-6500K.
