Color temperature lighting design is a process that involves selecting and using lighting sources with specific color temperatures to achieve desired effects in various environments. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) and determines the perceived warmth or coolness of a light source. Warm lighting (2,500-3,000K) is often used in residential and hospitality settings to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere, while cool lighting (5,000-6,500K) is more suitable for task-oriented areas such as offices and kitchens to enhance productivity. The right color temperature can impact mood, energy levels, and even the perception of space.
