The correct color temperature for your car park

The correct color temperature for your car park

The first thing people will notice after installing your new lights in the parking areas is their color and quality. The color and quality of LED light are better because their color temperatures are higher than those of traditional lamps.

Color temperature is a numerical value that defines the color of the light emitted by a light source. Light sources with a low color temperature produce red or orange light, while light sources with a high color temperature produce blue or white light.

Kelvin (K) is the unit of measurement for temperature. Color temperatures above 5000 K are called cold colors, while those between 2700 K and 3000 K are called warm colors.

Let's talk a little about Kelvin's scale.

You may know the Celsius scale (or Celsius scale) or the Fahrenheit scale. However, these scales have "reasonable" numbers for everyday use on Earth. For example, the normal temperature of the earth is about 15 ° C (49 ° F). Humans can easily understand these numbers because scales have been created to obtain reasonable numbers for common land temperatures. However, a temperature scale with very high (such as 5000 ° C) or very low (like 0.030 ° C) numbers may be difficult for humans to understand. The Kelvin scale is used in astronomy because temperatures in space are usually much warmer and colder than the temperatures we are used to on Earth. This is why it is used to measure very hot and cold objects.

The color temperature of the sun is 5778K. Outdoor lighting is primarily oriented towards a color temperature of 5,000 K, which is considered the closest to natural light. Lights with a color temperature of 5,000 K are normally used in outdoor spaces, warehouses, showrooms, assembly lines and other places where very bright light is needed. There are usually 4000K lights in offices and 3000K lights in homes. Only a few commercial spaces (some car showrooms and some convenience stores) use LED lights with very high color temperatures (6,000 to 6,500K).

One of the best features of LEDs is that their light color can be controlled over time. Traditional lighting systems lose their light color after months and years of use.

Another advantage of LEDs is that they have a more complete light spectrum. They reveal small details on objects that other lighting systems cannot reveal. This means that the images captured by the surveillance cameras in your car park will show the details more clearly.

Since the 5000 K color temperature makes the parking lot look great, your parking space will look brighter than ever before. Drivers and walkers will be able to see the objects more clearly and feel safe in your car park, no matter what time.
