Improve Your Sleep By Using Color Temperature LED Lights
You can get a better night’s rest by changing the colour temperature of the LED lighting in your room.
It’s possible that the light sources you use in your home are preventing your body from falling into a state of restful, deep sleep. Find out how to make the most of your LED lighting so that you may get a better night’s sleep and experience a greater sense of vitality in your day-to-day life.

Distinct wavelengths and frequencies of light, which correspond to different colours on a spectrum, are emitted by objects. The wavelength of red light is much longer than that of blue light, and its frequency is also lower. Because of this, red light seems to have a lower intensity and a higher temperature. Blue light, on the other hand, has a greater frequency, which causes it to appear both brighter and cooler.
There are a variety of impacts that can be caused on the body by various wavelengths and frequencies of light. Melatonin is the sleep hormone that is naturally produced by the pineal gland. Brighter, cooler lights may have a negative effect on the pineal gland’s ability to create melatonin. Also known as the circadian rhythm, the body’s sleep-wake cycle can be thrown off by light that is on the colder side of the spectrum.
When you really stop to think about it, before the invention of electricity (for which we have Benjamin Franklin to thank), people would sleep when the sun went down and be awake when it rose again. Their bodies operated according to a well-defined routine.
Our bodies have the potential to become disoriented as a result of the widespread availability of energy and technological advancements, as well as the near-constant stimulation from light. (Avoid gazing at your mobile phone or television right before you go to sleep!)
The Kelvin (K) scale is one that can be utilised to determine the colour temperature of an LED light. Dimmer, warmer lighting are lower in kelvin. The higher the kelvin number, the whiter, brighter, and more blue the light. Certain LED light bulbs are offered in a kelvin temperature range that extends from 3,000 to 5,000, with higher values resulting in whiter and bluer light.
If you want to know where to look for the colour temperature, look at the yellow circle in the LED bulb listing.
Red light, on the other hand, gives off the impression of being darker and warmer. It has a lower kelvin content, making it more appropriate for use in settings designed for rest and relaxation. Imagine the space in your home where you go to relax right before going to bed.
Take a look at our selection of LED lights, and while you’re doing so, pay attention to which options are offered in a variety of colour temperatures. We provide a wide selection of fixtures, including everything from wall sconces and recessed lights to flat panels and everything in between.
This gives you the ability to plan the lighting in your home, maximise the functionality of each room, and select an exquisite fixture that complements the ambiance of each room!
Do you long for warm lighting in your bedroom that won’t interfere with your natural sleep cycle? If you switch to a light that is softer, warmer, and has a lower kelvin rating, you will have no trouble falling or staying asleep.
