Kelvin Temperature

Tomorrow or later today, we will continue with recessed

But today I want you to look at 2 more pictures of the same setting. They are both shot during the day.



Showroom in Daylight



Showroom without Daylight



You probably like the shaded picture better. Sunlight(and fluorescent) washes out color. The color temperature is approximately 5000 degrees Kelvin. Shading it lowers the temperature to approximately 2700 degrees as we have a mix of halogen and incandescent in the picture.

Any Green lighting plan should absolutely take advantage of sunlight with skylights, etc, but not for more formal spaces or to highlighting objects of interest

What do you think?
