Static White LED Strip Lights
White light is not just one simple color, in fact it is very diverse. When choosing LED white strip lights, we usually combine the performance of the light with its color tone, such as warm white light strips, bright white light strips and so on.
In the real sense, choosing a white light strip is choosing a specific Kelvin color temperature value. Each color temperature value presents a different white light color. Terms like "soft white", "warm white", "bright white" encompass a broad range of color temperature values. Typically, a single light strip can only display one fixed white color temperature unless you opt for a tunable white light strip.
Our flex strips are universally compatible with 3000K warm white, 4000K natural white and 6000K/6500K daylight white. Here, we offer specialized white strip lights in unique LED color temperatures, including 1500K deep amber, 1800K amber, 2200K warm yellow, 2700K warm white, 3500K bright warm white, and 5000K cool daylight.
1500K Candlelight LED Strip1500K Light is a very warm white light color - a deep warm yellow, similar to the color of candle flame cores and the sunset colors of wildfire season. This is a completely stark contrast between warm and cool with bright white 5000K led lights. 1500 kelvin candlelight lighting with LED technology will create a cozy, intimate or vintage, mystical feel.
LED 1500K lighting has a very low blue light content, making it ideal for use as a nightlight in the bedroom. By hiding 1500K led strip under beds or on headboards, its low-light, hazy warmth of the light reduces visual stimulation and creates the ideal sleep-aiding light environment.
Outdoor terrace with 1500K lighting program, not only to avoid the night glare on the human body, but also because of its long wavelength spectral characteristics significantly reduce the phenomenon of insects tend to light.
In commercial space design, 1500K strip light can accurately highlight the amber color of whiskey and red wine when used under bar counters or backlight of the wine cabinet, giving the drinks a more mellow visual texture.
In winter decorations, the 1500K light source simulates the traditional fireplace light effect, enhancing the perception of space temperature, injecting visual warmth for the cold season.
This artistic special color temperature lighting is becoming an important design language for high-end atmosphere creation.
1800K Amber LED Tape Light1800K (1800 Kelvin) refers to a specific white light color - the amber color. Using the analogy of candlelight, 1500K light is the color of the wick and 1800K light is the color of the flame's outer perimeter. 1800K led strip has a slightly less orangey-reddish hue than 1500K, and is more practical in commercial and home lighting fixtures.
2200K Sunset LED Light StripsAn LED strip with a 2200K color temperature emits a warm golden-white light. While 2200K can also be referred to as amber light, it carries a stronger yellow tone compared to 1800K amber. The glow of 2200K warm white resembles the golden warmth of sunset—a perfect choice for creating a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. Whether in residential spaces like living rooms and bedrooms, or commercial settings such as restaurants and cafés, 2200K led light strip wraps the surroundings in a sun-kissed embrace.
2700K Warm White LED Strip2700K indicates that the light source has a color temperature of 2700 Kelvin. This is a relatively low color temperature and represents a warm yellow tint to the light emitted. 2700K light is similar to the light from sunlight at dusk or from traditional incandescent bulbs. Using 2700K led strip light as primary lighting or ambient accent lighting creates a warm, cozy, and soft home environment.
2200K vs. 2700K: The color of 2200K light is more orange, giving people a more intense and deep sense of warmth, which is suitable for some high-end places that need to emphasize the sense of warmth and comfort, retro decorative scenes, and scenes with special lighting needs. 2700K led light color is softer and brighter, giving a more comfortable and natural feeling, suitable for most family environments and ordinary commercial spaces.
3500K Soft White LED Strip3500K light (3500 kelvin light) presents a bright warm white, a color temperature between warm white and natural white. 3500K led strip retains the warmth of soft white light and the brightness of natural white light, giving a fresh, comfortable and warm feeling. The light color of 3500K led tape light is not too yellowish like 2700K or 3000K, nor too cold white like 4000K, it is a very balanced and comfortable light color, ideal for under cabinet lighting and shop lighting.
5000K Daylight LED Strip Light5000K light is close to the color temperature of midday sunlight, with a balanced spectrum where the ratios of red, green, and blue are similar to natural light. Visually, under high-color-rendering 5000K lighting, objects appear almost neutral—neither warm (yellow/red) nor cool (blue).
What is the Best Color Temperature for LED Light Strips?
To know what is the best color temperature for white led tape lights, you need to know the white light colors presented by different color temperatures and their applicable scenarios.
The led tape strip color temperature (in Kelvin, K) determines the warm and cool tones of the white lights:
• The lower the color temperature value, the more yellowish/reddish the light is, the softer and warmer the light is, but the brightness perceived by the naked eye is lower.
• The higher the color temperature value, the more bluish the light is, the brighter the light is and even harsh to the eyes, suitable for environments with high brightness requirements.
Usually we take 4000-4500K as the critical value to distinguish between warm and cool light: the color temperature below 4000K shows obvious warm tones, while above 4500K it gradually shifts to brighter and cool white light.
1. What kind of feeling do you want to create with white led strip?
Different led strip color temperature can shape different lighting atmosphere:
▶ Extreme low brightness cozy environment (1800K-2200K)
Similar to candlelight or sunset. If you want to create a romantic restaurant corner or a vintage style bar, then 1800K / 2200K light strip is the best choice.
▶ General home/commercial homey atmosphere (2700K-3500K)
Warm yellow to neutral warm white, suitable for living rooms, coffee shops, retail stores, balancing comfort and brightness.
▶ Warm tone but high brightness demand (4000K-4500K)
Close to natural morning light, suitable for kitchens, dens, offices, warm but not too bright.
▶ Task Lighting (5000K-6500K)
Cool white light with high color rendering, suitable for studios, kitchen workstations, display cabinets and other scenes that require precise color recognition.
2. Do you have a requirement for brightness?
LED strip lights color temperature directly affects the brightness perceived by the naked eye:
• Need high brightness lighting? → Choose 4000K and above (neutral white to cool white) to reduce the proportion of red and orange light and improve visual clarity.
• Need only ambient light? → Choose below 3000K (warm white to amber light) to avoid glare and create a relaxing environment.
Note: Low color temperature tape light will look darker than high color temperature light under the same power because it contains more red and orange spectrum.
3. Material of the object illuminated by the led white strip
Different materials perform differently at certain led strip colour temperatures:
Wooden/warm-colored objects (e.g. furniture, brick walls) → 2700K-3500K to enhance the warmth of the texture.
Metal/glass/cold-colored objects (e.g., display cases, modern decorations) → 4000K-5000K to highlight the sense of cold and advanced.
Artwork or merchandise display → High color rendering (CRI≥90) + 5000K to ensure true color reproduction.
