LED Lights have taken the commercial andplant sector by storm . The high energy expenses are cut-short because of LED lights and now the businesses are earning more profits. LED lights come in various shapes, colors and watts and even UFO LED grow Lights. Choosing the right LED light color is important. It can look strange if the color is not chosen considering the space in mind. It is always advised to choose appropriate LED light depending on the space and watts.

There are different LED lights available. Most widely used are 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K, 6000K and 6500K LED lights. K is short for Kelvin. It is basically the measure of the temperature of the lights. 2700-3000K lights have a warm brown-yellowish tone, lights of 5000K are white while above lights such as 5700K and 6500K have a cool or blue tone.

What Does 4000K Look Like?
4000K is an often overlooked color temperature, as it falls right in between "warm white" (2700K/3000K) and "daylight white" (5000K/6500K) color options.
As one would expect, is most definitely on the "cool" side when compared to typical warm white lighting options, but is also on the "warm" side when compared to daylight color temperatures.
You are most likely to encounter 4000K color temperatures in retail and office spaces. It is also the color temperature of direct sunlight during morning or afternoon hours.This makes 4000K a popular choice for customers looking for a bit more clarity and crispness in their light, but also don't want something too blue or stark. 

What Does 5000K 

5700K and 6000K LED lights may look cool, but this light is too blue and cause irritation to the eyes. These may be best for car headlights and stadiums but not for commercial and residential use.
