Q. How is Kelvin used?
The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales were both built around water, either the freezing point, the boiling point or some combination of water and a chemical. The Kelvin temperature scale is used by scientists because they wanted a temperature scale where zero reflects the complete absence of thermal energy.
Q. Is 5000K brighter than 3000K?
Warm White is around 3000k, whereas Cool White is around 5000k. Lower on the scale is warmer and higher is cooler. On the other hand, Cool White has a high color temperature, emitting very bright, clean and white light. You can compare the same with natural daylight to understand it better.

Q. What is better 2700K or 3000K?
3000K light is a slightly more pure, neutral white color compared to 2700K. If you personally don’t like the incandescent light bulb color of 2700K, or you want to be able to have a bit more color acuity, 3000K is most likely your best option.
Q. Is 3000K OK for kitchen?
For example, 2000K to 3000K lighting is best for a bedroom since the lighting is yellowish and soft. A kitchen needs warm colored bulb ranging from 3000K to 4000 K. And study areas need 5000K to 6000K LED bulbs for a bright daylight color.
Q. Is 3000K warm or cool?

Q. Can you mix 2700K and 3000K lights?
If your 2700K and 3000K light sources are not beside each other, they can easily blend well in the same space. So, if you use 2700K for your ambient lighting in the kitchen, you can still use your 3000K light in the same area for lights under the cabinets or as a countertop light. It will still give you a unified look.
