White LED color temperature knowledge

Color temperature definition: When the color of the light emitted by the light source is the same as the color of the black body at a certain temperature, the temperature of the black body is called the color temperature of the light source.

Since most of the light emitted by the light source is collectively referred to as white light, the color table temperature or the correlated color temperature of the light source is used to refer to the relative whiteness of the light color to quantify the light color performance of the light source. According to Max Planck's theory, a standard black body with complete absorption and radioactivity is heated, and the temperature gradually increases. The black body locus on the CIE color scale shows that the black body is red-orange-- - Yellow - yellow white - white - blue and white process. The temperature at which the black body is warmed to the same or close to the light source is defined as the correlated color temperature of the light source, which is called the absolute temperature K (Kelvin or Kelvin) (K=°C+273.15). Therefore, when the black body is heated to a red color, the temperature is about 527 ° C, that is, 800 K, and other temperatures affect the color change.

The more blue the light color, the higher the color temperature; the lower the color temperature, the lower the color temperature. The light color of the day is also changing with time: 40 minutes after sunrise, the light color is yellower, the color temperature is 3,000K; the midday sun is white, rising to 4,800-5,800K; the cloudy day is about 6,500K at noon; the color before sunset Reddish, the color temperature dropped to 2,200K. The correlated color temperature of other light sources, because the correlated color temperature is actually the black body radiation approaching the light source color, the evaluation value of the light source color performance is not an accurate color contrast, so the two light sources with the same color temperature value, There may still be some differences in the appearance of the light color. Only the color temperature can not understand the color rendering ability of the light source to the object, or how the color of the object is reproduced under the light source.

Color temperature of correlated color temperature source in different light source environments

Northern Clear Sky 8000-8500k

Cloudy 6500-7500k

Summer noon sunshine 5500k

Metal halide lamp 4000-4600k

Afternoon daylight 4000k

Cool color camp light 4000-5000k

High pressure mercury lamp 3450-3750k

Warm color camp light 2500-3000k

Halogen lamp 3000k

Tungsten wire 2700k

High pressure sodium lamp 1950-2250k

Candle light 2000k

The color temperature of the light source is different and the light color is different. The color temperature is stable below 3300K, the feeling of warmth; the color temperature is 3000--5000K for the intermediate color temperature, and there is a refreshing feeling; the color temperature has a cold feeling above 5000K. Different light colors of different light sources constitute the best environment. (Edit: Technology)
