Lux, Lumen, Kelvin? It’s good to know about it. With the advent of LED sources, consumption has been radically reduced, but light bulbs carry many new designations and abbreviations. Previously, they were mainly bought according to the value of watts, i.e. energy consumption.
- Kelvin (K) is a unit of light temperature. It indicates to what extent the light is colored blue or red: the higher the number, the cooler the light (blue). We distinguish between warm, natural and cold light. Warm light (1700-3500 K), natural (3500-5000 K) and cold light (5000-7000 K).
- Lumen (lm) is a unit of luminous flux. It indicates how much light the bulb emits. The higher the number, the more light.
- Lux (lx) is a unit of light intensity. It expresses how many lumens fall on one square meter.
