skylt utomhus

[canadian home]

I have often heard people say that they do not like CFL lights because the color is wrong, they're too yellowish or dingy. Well, they weren't kidding, the light can be a slightly different color - some folks are simply more sensitive to the color of light than others. By paying attention to the information on the bulb container, you may be able to adjust the color of the light your purchasing by noticing the warm and cool scale indicating the kelvin temperature of the light.

What is a soft white skylt utomhus light bulb? 

• A soft white light bulb is a bulb at 3000 K or less.
• Bright white is a bulb around 3,500 K
• Cool white then is about 4,000 K
• and bulbs referred to daylight are 5,000 K and higher

If we take the container and look at the top end we see an indication that this bulb is considered Soft white because it is 3000 K along the Light Appearance graph or spectrum. If a person wanted a whiter or brighter colored light, they would need to select a bulb that is near the 5000 K spectrum.

For my needs, I will pay attention to the watts - how bright the light is, and I will pay attention to the cost. Light color does not concern me and I pay little attention to the soft, whites, brights or anything named kelvin.

In all the reading I was doing on the outside of this LED skylt utomhus light package, I was looking for an indication of whether or not this light bulb was recommended for use inside an enclosed light fixture - like the one on my kitchen ceiling. You know, the kind that takes two light bulbs and you cover the light with a glass case. I had to wait until I actually purchased the light and opened the package. There, written on the bulb itself, was the hard to read proclamation that this bulb was not to be used in total enclosed luminaries. I always like it when simply instructions use big fancy words. Maybe the term luminaires is better for the french customers or something.
