Cool White

Skapetze: Vergleich von Warmweiß, Neutralweiß und Tageslichtweiß in einem modernen Raum mit hellen Möbeln.

There arewarm white, neutral white and cool white light, the latter of which has a higher blue component and therefore appears significantly cooler. Cool white light sources are available starting at aLight Color of 5600K (K is the abbreviation forKelvin). The higher the Kelvin value, the cooler the light, as it shifts further and further into the blue spectrum. Cool white is often also referred to as blue-white ordaylight white is referred to as, since it is very similar to theDaylight of the sun. By comparison, at midday theColor Temperature of sunlight, approximately 8,000 Kelvin.

If a light emits a cool white glow, it is often used in a home office or as a mirror light, because this light color makes even the smallest details clearly visible. This allows you to perform complex visual tasks without straining your eyes unnecessarily due to inadequate lighting.

However, if you want to be able to both work on details and relax comfortably in certain rooms, we recommend aDim2Warm Dimmer, which dims the cool white light to warm white. Or you can illuminate theRoom using a combination of warm-white and cool-white lights, as is often done in bathrooms.
