2700K - Warm White
This is the light that you are probably most familiar within a residential or restaurant application. The warm glow of lower color temperatures is often reminiscent of the sunset or the glow of a fire. Common applications would be:
Living Rooms
Living rooms are custom designed for relaxation. Plus, we often spend time in our living rooms in the evenings or after work, which means that you’ll be using artificial light sources the get the atmosphere of the room just right. This calls for warm and cozy light, so look for light sources around 2700K.
Restaurants
For the most part, restaurants want to create an inviting and intimate environment. That is why they most often choose warmer light sources with dimmers, so they can adjust the lighting throughout the evening as the sun goes down and day turns to night. Some will even opt for a warmer color temperature to mimic candlelight.
Hotels
The primary mission of a hotel is to make you feel at home, so it is no surprise to see they use a similar color temperature to what you might use in your living room or restaurant. Warmer temperatures provide cozier atmospheres, which is why 2700K is a great choice for the hospitality industry.
