A warm color temperature is typically 3,000K or less. A “cool” white bulb commonly has a color temperature of 4,000K and higher on the Kelvin scale. Most of our fixtures range from 3000K-2500K, which provides a good source of warm light for home or office use.

The color temperature can also change significantly with altitude, latitude, season, and weather conditions.
