1. Understanding Colour Temperature (Kelvin)
Kelvin (K) describes how warm or cool a light looks. Lower K = warmer (golden). Higher K = whiter (cleaner).
| Colour Temp | Appearance | Common Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2700K | Warm white | Soft, cozy, golden | Paths, patios, intimate settings |
| 3000K | Neutral / pure white | Crisp, balanced, clean | Architecture, trees, modern landscapes |
