One of the great benefits of LEDs is that they come in different colours/shades of white, which can be used to create an optimised ambience in your home. However, you'll often see a kelvin (K) value next to these colours, and you may be wondering what this actually means. Kelvin is a unit measurement for the colour temperature of light, and is used to determine the shade of white rendered by LEDs. Below you can see a chart of where the most popular LED colours sit on the kelvin chart:
