What Is Colour Temperature?

Colour temperature, measured in Kelvins (K), describes the tone of white light.

Both 3000K and 4000K provide clean, balanced light — but their feel and function are subtly different.

Final Thoughts
Neither option is “better” — it’s about matching the light to the mood and function of your space.

Both 3000K and 4000K COB LEDs from Alumo deliver dotless, uniform illumination that elevates any interior with a premium finish.

If you’re still unsure which to choose, our team is always happy to help you select the perfect tone for your project.

3000K vs 4000K Lighting — Which One Is Right for Your Space?

When it comes to choosing your LED lighting, colour temperature makes a bigger difference than you might think.

The right tone can change how a room feels, how your surfaces appear, and even how comfortable the space feels at night.

At Alumo, we offer our COB LED lighting in two options — 3000K (Warm White) and 4000K (Neutral White) — so you can tailor your lighting to your space and lifestyle.

3000K — Warm White

Best for: Living areas, kitchens with timber tones, bedrooms, and bathrooms where you want a cosy, inviting ambience.

  • Emits a soft, golden glow that enhances warmth and texture.
  • Complements natural materials like wood, brass, and warm stone.
  • Creates a comfortable, ambient light that feels relaxing in the evening.
  • Ideal for spaces where lighting doubles as mood or accent illumination.

💡 Recommended for: Homes with warmer interiors, soft colour palettes, or where you want that “boutique-hotel” feel.

4000K — Neutral White

Best for: Modern kitchens, workspaces, bathrooms, and anywhere that benefits from brighter clarity.

  • Produces a clean, natural white light that feels bright but not harsh.
  • Perfect for task lighting, like food prep or grooming areas.
  • Enhances the appearance of white, grey, or cool-toned finishes.
  • Gives a sense of freshness and precision without the blue tint of 5000K+ light.

💡 Recommended for: Contemporary homes, minimalist interiors, or where visual clarity matters most.
