Specifically what does the color temperature on light bulbs it indicate? because, it clearly does not indicate the wavelength of max intensity.
Color temperature for LEDs is a measurement of the color appearance of the light emitted from an LED. It is measured in units of Kelvin (K) and indicates the color of light produced by an LED, ranging from warm (yellowish) to cool (bluish).
The color temperature for LEDs is determined by the color of the light emitted when the LED is heated to a certain temperature. This is known as the "black body radiation curve." The temperature at which the curve peaks is the color temperature of the LED.
Warm color temperature for LEDs is typically in the range of 2700K-3500K and produces a yellowish light that is similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. Cool color temperature for LEDs is typically in the range of 5000K-6500K and produces a bluish light that is similar to daylight.
The color temperature for LEDs can significantly impact the appearance of objects. Warm color temperature can make objects appear more yellow or reddish, while cool color temperature can make objects appear more blue. This is important to consider when choosing LED lighting for different environments.
Yes, the color temperature for LEDs can be adjusted by using different LED bulbs or by using adjustable LED lights that allow you to change the color temperature to suit your preferences. This can be especially useful for creating different moods or for different tasks that require different lighting conditions.
