SUMMARY
The color temperature of LEDs indicates the temperature of a blackbody radiator that emits light with a spectrum closest to that of the LED. It does not represent the wavelength of maximum intensity but rather serves as a reference point for the perceived warmth or coolness of the light. Understanding this concept is crucial for selecting appropriate lighting for various applications, as it directly affects ambiance and visibility.
