Understanding Color Temperature of LED lighting

RBW

Many of our customers are now familiar with the idea of a "warm" white or a "cool" white being offered by fluorescent and other light bulbs. LED light sources are based on the Kelvin system of measure. A warm color temperature is typically 3,000K or less. A "cool" white bulb commonly has a color temperature of 4,000K and higher on the Kelvin scale. Most of our fixtures range from 3000K-2500K, which provides a good source of warm light for home or office use. Below is a basic scale that gives a good indication of the range offered by LED sources.

RBW | Spring Partner Dinner

On March 30, the RBW leadership team gathered with tastemakers in the New York design community for an evening of cocktails and a private dinner. It was a privilege to host this event at our 85F Tribeca Showroom. The night centered around a shared table and a seasonal menu prepared by Chef Arley Marks. One course was created in partnership with the Kingston YMCA Farm Project, an urban farm that supports youth through food education, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. The evening reflected a shared commitment to care, craft, and connection. A moment shaped by good food, thoughtful conversation, and the people who continue to make this community what it is. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
