For acrylic light boxes, color temperature is an important property in their LED lights, some customers may have certain requirements for color temperature of acrylic lightboxes. So how to
choose LED lights with suitable color temperature?
What is color temperature?
Color temperature is a physical quantity that describes the color of a light source, with the unit being Kelvin (K).
The concept originates from the fact that when a black body (an ideal object that can absorb all light) is heated, it exhibits a color change from red to yellow, white, and blue as the temperature rises.
At this point, the temperature is defined as the color temperature corresponding to that color.
The level of color temperature directly affects people’s visual perception of light:
Low color temperature (approximately 2700K-3500K): The light is yellowish and reddish, similar to incandescent lamps and candlelight, giving a warm and soft feeling.
It is suitable for scenes that need to create a cozy atmosphere, such as bedrooms and restaurants.
Medium color temperature (approximately 4000K-5000K): The light is close to natural light, appearing white, neither cold nor warm.
It is suitable for places that require clear lighting, such as offices and kitchens.
High color temperature (approximately 6000K and above): The light is bluish and whitish, appearing bright and cool.
It is commonly used in places that need high-brightness lighting, such as hospitals and shopping malls.
For example, the color temperature of sunlight at sunrise is low (about 2000K-3000K), with an orange-yellow tint; the color temperature of sunlight at noon is higher (about 5500K-6500K), close to pure white; while the color temperature of light on cloudy days is even higher, with a hint of blue.
How to choose color temperature for your acrylic light boxes
Firstly, high or low color temperature affects brightness, gentleness, and glare of acrylic lightbox graphics.
Many people believe that the higher the color temperature value, the brighter the lightbox,
the lower the color temperature of LED lights, less dazzling the effect of acrylic light boxes produced.
However, if color temperature value is too high, blue light may be produced, which makes people feel very dazzling.
Secondly, choose appropriate color temperature for acrylic light boxes based on their usage environment
For example, for acrylic light boxes used in jewelry stores, warm LED lights can be chosen, best color temperature to choose is between 2800k and 4500K, which can better highlight the golden quality of gold jewelry and make it appear more shiny on the surface, if selected color temperature is too high, color of gold jewelry may be darker, affecting beauty of jewelry, and its sales performance will not be very good.
If we are displaying food advertisements, we need to enhance brightness and vividness of acrylic lightbox graphics. We can choose a color temperature value of 6000-6500K for regular white, this type of LED bead can restore color of food to most realistic
level, making customers look more appetizing. Therefore, color temperature has a significant impact on visual effect for your store customers.
Finally, controlling of color temperature differences
Generally, it is difficult to maintain a high color temperature. For some LED tubes with high requirements, probability of color temperature deviation is very high.
As long as there is a slight deviation, color difference is very obvious. Therefore, many acrylic light boxes that require high color temperature need to be specially customized, which increases cost of light box production.
To reduce color temperature deviation, it is necessary to choose high-quality LED light-emitting chips to ensure that color temperature deviation is within a very small range.
