Warm, natural or cool white? Pick the right colour for each room

The colour of a light changes how a room feels. It is measured in Kelvin (K). Lower numbers look warmer and yellower. Higher numbers look cooler and whiter.

The three colours we sell

Colour Kelvin How it looks
Warm 3000K Soft, yellow, cosy light
Natural 4000K Balanced light between warm and cool
White 6000K Bright, cool, daylight-style light

Which colour for which room

Room Good choice
Bedroom and lounge Warm (3000K) for a relaxed feel
Kitchen, dining and study Natural (4000K) for clear light that is easy on the eyes
Office, shop, garage and workshop White (6000K) for bright, alert light
Bathroom and corridor Natural or White, depending on how bright you like it
Outdoor areas and yards White (6000K) for the brightest light, or Warm (3000K) for a softer look
Use one colour in each room. Mixing colours in the same room makes the light look uneven.

Not sure?

Natural (4000K) is a safe choice for most rooms. Most Deltalite lights come in all three colours, so you pick the colour on the product page.
