In short though the color spectrum of white leds is generally horrible unless you get a really expensive one designed for full spectrum use.
Cool white led spectrum.
The result of poor color spectrum is that some colors won t even be present even though it appears to us as white.
Cool white leds emit more blue and the radiation is classified as hotter although again humans have an alternative perception that determines the light is cooler.
The range of color temperature.
It is impossible to reliably manufacture leds of exactly the same color.
Soft white 2700k 3000k bright white cool white 3500k 4100k and daylight 5000k 6500k.
In general white leds consist of two ish spikes of color in the spectrum with everything else very low in comparison.
The higher the degrees kelvin the whiter the color temperature.
The system is a mercury free alternative that is safer more controllable and precise than traditional bulb illumination options.
Manufacturers produce white leds with outputs classed as warm white 2600 to 3700 k cct neutral white 3700 to 5000 k cct and cool white 5000 to 8300 k.
There are two main choices we offer you they are between cool white and warm white.
Coolled s pe 300 white offers intense broad spectrum led illumination for fluorescence microscopy that is perfect for hospital and regular research laboratory environments.
A power led i have emits yellow and purple to attain a cool white.
The terms warm white and cool white are references to the low and high end of this white light colour spectrum.
The three primary types of color temperature for light bulbs are.
