Understanding Light Color
K ay n ewell /t he light bulb l aDy
As the winter sun gets hidden behind a grey cloud
blanket, as our plants go dormant for the season,
and our pets move in slow mode, sleeping the days
away, many humans feel the same effects. We just
want to hibernate. We call it S.A.D. for seasonal af-
fective disorder, a type of depression that’s related
to changes in seasons.
But light bulbs can help, if you select the correct
bulbs. My last column and blog addressed that issue.
There are bulbs to create a better light to help you,
the plants, and the animals living with you. Read the
bulb package to learn the light color a bulb creates.
Some general words used to describe the differ-
by
ences in light are natural, daylight and sunshine, but
these terms do not have a defined definition. To se-
lect the light you desire look for the word Kelvin. In
the past, 6500 Kelvin was called daylight. The lower
the number the more yellow the light. The light be-
comes bluer as the Kelvin become higher.
Kelvins inform us the color of light for a given
bulb but not the quality of that color. The color ren-
dering index (CRI) measures the effect a light has on
the perceived color of objects. We will have more to
explain about CRI in our next blog.
Visit me at Sunlan Lighting at 3901 N. Missis-
sippi Ave. where we stock a large variety of bulbs in
many colors and shapes.
