Lighting is one of the essential features of a bathroom, as proper lighting is essential for performing bathroom tasks. Different types of lighting serve various purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, ambient light with cooler colors gives you an overview, while a warmer color gives you the feel of a cozy atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend that the bathroom light temperature be between 3000 and 3200 Kelvin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you need to consider before deciding on a temperature for bathroom lighting?<\/p>\n\n\n

Basics of Color Temperature<\/h2>\n\n\n

Lord Kelvin, a British scientist, created the degrees Kelvin(K) scale used to measure color temperature<\/a> today. A lower Kelvin degree indicates that the light source is warm light. Meanwhile, a higher Kelvin degree suggests that the light source is a cool blue light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candlelight, for example, has a temperature of approximately 1,000 Kelvin. Light bulbs in typical households have a Kelvin temperature of around 3,000. However, bright light, such as natural daylight, has a temperature of about 6,500K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Is Color Temperature Measured?<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Kelvin<\/a> temperature scale is a standard expression for color temperature. It ranges from 1000K to 10,000K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A low color temperature emits yellow light, creating a warm relaxing glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high color temperatures produce a cool, blue, and more vibrant light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
