What color temperature is suitable for LED street lights?

   When selecting LED street light fixtures, you need to understand the color temperature. In daily life, the color temperature of ordinary incandescent lamps is 2800K, that of halogen tungsten lamps is 3400K, that of daylight fluorescent lamps is about 650K, that of warm white fluorescent lamps is about 4500K, and that of high-pressure sodium lamps is about 20002100K. Knowing these details provides a basis for replacing traditional light fixtures.

Then understand what kind of feeling the color temperature gives people in different illuminance occasions. In low illuminance occasions, low color temperature light makes feel pleasant and comfortable; high color temperature makes people feel gloomy, dark, and cold; in high illuminance occasions, low color temperature light makes people feely; high color temperature makes people feel comfortable and pleasant. The workplace requires a high illuminance and high color temperature environment, while the rest place requires a lowance and low color temperature environment.

The color temperature of LED street lights around 5000K emits white light, while around 3000K it emits or warm white light. In fact, yellow or warm white light around 3000K is more suitable for road lighting, while the color temperature of street lights around 5000K is not suitable for road lighting. This is because a color temperature of 5000K can make people very cold visually, and it can also cause strong glare, leading to excessive visual fatigue, and under such color temperature conditions, people's ability to observe distant objects also decline, reducing the safety of drivers.
