Why color temperature is important?
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share some information with you guys on color temperature. Color temperature is a generally accepted means of describing the color of white light and is measured on the Kelvin (K) scale. Temperature below 3500 K produce “warmer” or yellow- tinged light. Temperatures above 6000 K produce “cooler” or bluish tint light. Color temperatures above 6000 K make it difficult for the human eye to perceive color variations and depth of field. For the off-road enthusiast, this can present a dangerous situation as the driver strains to see changes in the terrain, oncoming dips, shadows, and other road or trail hazards.
Baja Designs uses LEDs in the 5000-6000 K range. This color temperature range closely mimics bright sunlight and greatly reduces eye strain and driver fatigue. These LEDs provide the off-road driver with a far superior lighted pathway to easily spot oncoming obstacles at relatively high speeds. If you have any questions please feel free to send me a PM or give me a call.
Thanks,
