How to choose the color temperature of outdoor lighting fixtures?
A physical quantity used to define the color of a light source in illumination optics is called color temperature. That is, when a standard black body is heated, and the color of the light emitted by it is the same as the color of the light emitted by a certain light source, the heating temperature of the black body is called the color temperature of the light source, or color temperature for short. Its unit is expressed in "K" (Kelvin temperature unit). Color temperature is an important application of visible light in lighting, photography, video and other fields.
The design of outdoor LED lighting is different from that of indoor lighting, and the overall design requirements are higher, such as heat dissipation. Next, I will introduce some points that cannot be ignored in the design of outdoor LED lighting fixtures!
The visual effects of objects illuminated by lights with different color temperatures are different, and the feeling is also different. When the color temperature is below 3000K, the light color is reddish, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling; when the color temperature is between 3000K and 6000K, there is no obvious visual psychological effect under this color temperature, and the light color is mild, making people feel happy. ; The color temperature exceeds 6000K, and the light color is bluish, giving people a cool feeling.
In the LED outdoor lighting industry, color temperature also plays a very important role in the light efficiency and function of LED wall washers, LED line lights, LED flood lights and other lighting fixtures. The color temperature of conventional outdoor lighting fixtures is 2000K- 6000K.
The color temperature of most lamps in residential area lighting is 2000K-3000K, which can make residents feel comfortable visually and physically and mentally. The installation angle should also be considered to prevent glare from affecting residents. The artistic atmosphere of the environment requires the matching and support of light and shadow to achieve the desired effect.
In the long history of Chinese culture, ancient buildings are like bright pearls, which are relics of history. After thousands of years of baptism, they are still shining. The lighting of ancient buildings mostly uses 2000K, 2200K and other outdoor lighting lamps with yellow light and golden light color temperature, which can reflect the simplicity and atmosphere of the building. The lighting of ancient buildings also adds a brilliance to the city night scene. Appropriate use of light and color can not only show the characteristics of the building, but also create an atmosphere that matches the characteristics of the building.
Municipal buildings and other places will also use a color temperature of more than 4000K. Municipal buildings can always give people a sense of solemnity. They must be solemn but not rigid and dull. Choosing the right color temperature can show the atmosphere, brightness and solemnity of municipal buildings. , concise image.
