How Bright is 2700 Kelvin or 5000 Kelvin?
Posted by Sales Team on
As we state in our "Watts vs. Lumens vs. Kelvin" article. Kelvin is not a measure of brightness rather it is a measure of color temperature. If you are looking for brightness, the proper measurement to look for is lumens. In general though, 5000K or cool/daylight white will a appear brighter than 2700K all things being equal but this is due to the higher contrast of such light.

Color temperature has nothing to do with contrast (variation in brightness). Higher color temperatures are more blue than lower color temperatures.
