Different light sources (the sun, candles, different light bulb types) emit light of different colors. A candle emits a soft yellow light that is pleasing to many people whereas the light from the sun can be quite white and harsh. The color of visible light can be classified using a measurement called Kelvin - a higher Kelvin rating means a whiter light. Different lighting products will use Kelvin to classify the color of the light that they will emit.[1] In addition to considering what color of light may be most appropriate for a given application (home, clinic, community meeting hall), different cultures have varying lighting color preferences that should be taken into account. Thankfully For the same brand and model of LED lightbulb there are often various color choices to choose from.
