The most efficient way of lighting your home is with LED lights, and it can be cost effective too. Whether you want the latest modern fitting or a traditional light fitted with our LED bulbs, there’s something suitable for you. At Universal Lighting, we stock a wide range of LED lights suitable for every room in your home, including ceiling lights, LED wall and picture lights and floor and table lamps.
What’s this all about then, how can colour have a temperature? Well, it can, and it does, and it’s measured on The Kelvin Scale. Incandescent lamps gave you one choice and that was a colour temperature of 2700k. If you want to choose an LED light fitting or bulb that closely resembles your old style light bulb, then 2700k – 3000k is the one to go for. This colour is also known as warm white.
As a general rule, warmer colours are better for rooms that you relax in and cooler colours are better for task lighting and work areas. You will often see references to warm white, cool white, neutral and daylight colour temperatures, but what does it mean?
Never attempt to dim non-dimmable LED lights, as they cannot be dimmed. Should you fit a dimmer to non-dimmable LED’s then damage to the dimmer, lamps or both will occur. Mains voltage dimmable LED lights can be dimmed using an ordinary resistive dimmer.
