Both our work environment and our home are influenced by light. Warm colors can create a relaxing, inviting atmosphere, while cooler tones work better for task lighting. Warmer colors are used for living rooms and outdoor spaces, while cooler colors are found in kitchens and laundry rooms. Did you know that light colors can improve your sleep?
What Color is Best to Sleep In?
According to studies, different colors of LED lights can have different effects on your sleep. The color red is the best for improving sleep, as it has a lower color temperature than regular sunlight or artificial blue light.
Your Circadian Rhythm and Red Light
You might have heard that electronic devices can disrupt your sleep. Your body’s internal clock is linked to the photosensitive cells in your retina. These cells are specialized and help regulate the circadian rhythm of your body. Cells are more sensitive to blue light and wavelengths and less sensitive to red light and wavelengths.
It is recommended to use a red LED instead of a white or bright blue one if you have to keep the light on during the night. Red LED lights are less disruptive to the circadian rhythm, and they can help you manage your sleep cycle. Red lights that are designed to emit no blue light will appear dimmer. Warm white colors with a temperature of 2400 or 2700 kelvin may help maintain your circadian rhythm.
Amber Light Has Many Benefits
Amber lights can also be used to block the harmful effects of blue light. Amber lights are often used by homeowners as a general-purpose lighting option. Blue light used during the day is not necessarily harmful to your health. You can choose from a variety of colors for beautiful LED lights depending on what you need and want.
