What is 6500K in LED light?

6500K LED is the LED that emits light with a color temperature of 6500K. 6500K is a thermal measure of color temperature.

What is color temperature?

Color temperature is related to the thermodynamic temperature, expressed in Kelvin (K). Absolute zero is the zero degree defined by the Kelvin temperature scale. 0 degrees Kelvin(0 K) is approximately equal to -273 degrees Celsius. All thermal motion stops at absolute zero.

Color temperature is a measure of the color of light. This concept is based on a fictitious blackbody that starts to heat from absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius) and emits light of different colors when heated to different temperatures. The blackbody appears in different colors. Just like heating an iron block, the iron block turns red first, then yellow, and finally turns white.

When the light emitted by a light source is the same as the light emitted by the blackbody at a certain temperature, the temperature is defined as the color temperature of the light.

6500K is the light emitted by the blackbody at 6227 degrees Celsius, (6227 + 273) Kelvin = 6500K. 6500K light mimics the natural sunlight of the light on a sunny day, so it is also called daylight white. It is internationally recognized as the white point of LCD displays. All LCD manufacturers use this white color temperature to calibrate the white color of the LCD displays.

The 6500K LED strip lights is equipped with LEDs with a color temperature of 6500K. It is the brightest led strip lights when people are talking about cool white LED strip lights. Light with temperature above 7000K begins to appear blue, and the object it illuminates looks with a blue tint.

Our brightest 6500K LED strip lights come in 12V or 24V version. To install and provide power to it, you need to choose proper voltage power adapters or LED power supplies.
