Choosing the right LED color for your lighting project is very important in creating the best lighting transformation for your client. Here are 3 questions that will help you decide on getting the right color to use.
Step 1 - What is the purpose or application of your installation?
Determine the purpose and application. The color of the LED strips should be chosen based on the function of the lighting. For example, warm white or yellow tones may be more suitable for a relaxing ambiance, while cool white or blue tones may be better for task lighting. Going with a single-color LED strip is best-fit for creating a classic and elegant transformation. Multi-colored strips are perfect for fun and playful applications like game rooms, home theater, or bar lights.
Step 2 - What is the color scheme of the room?
Considering the color scheme of the room will help you match the lighting properly. The LED strip color should complement the overall color scheme of the room. For example, if the room has a warm color palette, a cool white or blue LED strip may not fit in with the decor. The LED strip color should match the furniture, fixtures, and other lighting installations within the room. For example, under-kitchen cabinet lighting with white furniture and fixtures will be best paired with warm white or neutral white single-color LED strips. If you have colorful lighting and fixtures and you are aiming to create a fun vibe, your choice will be a multi-colored LED strip.
Step 3 - How much intensity or output do you want and need?
The intensity of the LED strip color can also affect the ambiance of the room. Soft, subtle colors may create a calming atmosphere, while brighter, bolder colors can add energy and excitement. If you need high-intensity output, your choice will be high-density strips (600 LEDs per spool or for every 16ft of LED strip) - single-colored strips for that classic vibe and multi-colored ones for that vibrant fun application. Your go-to will be a standard-density strip (300 LEDs or less) if you need a subtle lighting installation.
Overall, the key to choosing the right LED strip color is to consider the purpose of the lighting, the color scheme of the room, and the desired intensity of the color.
