What color temperature light bulb should I use?

Know Your Color Temperatures 2700K – 3000K – This is the warm or soft white range, best suited for areas in the home where you want to relax or entertain. 3500K – 4500K – This is more a neutral white light range, giving a balance between warm and soft color light.

What is the difference between 3200K and 5600K in color temperature?

Color temperature is usually measured in degrees Kelvin (K). Most often, you will be using either one of these two light sources – daylight (5600K) when shooting outside and tungsten (3200K) when shooting inside. Conversely, the higher the Kelvin value, the more blue the color of the light will be.

What is the difference between 3000K and 4000K?

4000K is really the transitional color temperature that begins to turn the warmer yellow of 3000K into a cool white. At 5000K you will only be seeing the cool white color temperature in the light. Warm light will typically be anything that’s 3000K and under.

When should I use 5600K?

Midday daylight is normally taken to be 5600K, a cloudy sky will be 6000-7500K, and north light (light from the blue sky from the north rather than direct sunshine) can have a color temperature of around 10,0000K.
