What is Correlated Color Temperature?
This is a scientific measurement of the balance between the wavelengths making up any white light. The unit of measurement is in Kelvin (K) which determines the warm or cool appearance of a light source. The lower the color temperature, the warmer or more yellow is the appearance. The higher the color temperature, the cooler or bluer is the appearance. Typical color temperatures are 2800K for incandescent, 3000K for halogen, 4100K for cool white, and 5000K for metal halide and daylight fluorescent lamps.
