lighting
Colour temperature relates to the perceived warmth of the light source, which can range from warm (ideal for homes) through to cold (used in offices, for example). ‘It’s measured in kelvins,and any light with a rating of around 3000K will give out a nice warm tone.’ Colour rendering is about how colours appear under artificial light: is scored out of 100, with daylight being a perfect 100,Artificial light is not the full spectrum, so colours can look altered in it, but any score over 80 is good for a home, so check with the manufacturer before you buy.’

Colour temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin. Any bulb between 2400-2700K will be warm, 2700-3500K will be lukewarm, and anything over 3500-4000K will be cool. Most good bulb brands will display these ratings on the box.
