How you use lights in your home has a direct effect on how well you sleep at night. Using LED color temperatures in a smart way can not only help you sleep better, but it can also give you more energy during the day.
Wavelength and the Secret of Light: How They Affect Your Sleep
Different kinds of light with different colors and frequencies can change the biological rhythms of people. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency, making it look bright and cold. Red light has a longer wavelength and a lower frequency, making it look warm and dim. Different colors have very different effects on our bodies. For example, blue light from the sun strongly stops the pineal gland in the brain from releasing melatonin, which is a key sleep hormone. Without it, the body's circadian schedule is thrown off. People used to follow the rule "rise with the sun and sleep when it sets." But since electric lights came along, light pollution, especially the blue light from cell phones and TV screens before bed, has been throwing off our biological clocks all the time.
How to Crack the Kelvin (K) Value Code
The color temperature, which is recorded in Kelvin (K), is the most important thing about LED lights. The color temperature value directly affects the light's properties: a low color temperature range (2700K–3000K) creates a warm yellow tone like sunlight at dusk, making the room feel calm and peaceful; a high color temperature range (4000K–6500K) creates the cold white tone of midday sunlight, making you more alert and able to see clearly. A lot of LED lights on the market have color temperatures between 2700K (warm white light) and 5000K/6500K (daylight white light). The light is darker and brighter as the number goes up.
Pick the right light for every room.
The idea behind how light affects living things says that home lighting should use specific and distinct methods. High color temperature cold light (>4000K) works well in places where people need to concentrate, like offices, cooking work areas, or bathrooms where people get ready in the morning. It can really help you get things done faster and more efficiently. Instead, low color temperature warm light (2700K to 3000K) should be used most in beds and rest areas in the living room that need to help people relax and get ready for sleep. This soft yellow tone, which looks like candlelight or the sun going down, can help the body easily and smoothly go to sleep by encouraging the release of melatonin. Choose a warm, soft light source in the 2700K to 3000K range to make your bedroom a truly sleep-friendly space. This will greatly improve the speed and quality of your falling asleep and sleep.
