The Best LED Light Colors for Different Situations

Most people need to pay more attention to the efficacy of choosing the best LED light colors for different situations. Unfortunately, many buy LED light colors based on the energy-efficient feature commonly plastered on any product box.

However, there are a lot of factors to consider if you want to buy good LED light colors that will benefit your budget… and your health in the long run.

Our bodies are programmed to respond to light. From the moment we wake up and then back to when we sleep.

We take advantage of what light nature gives us and use it as a baseline for how color affects our bodies.

What LED Light Color Helps With Headaches and Migraine

The best LED light color for headaches and migraine is Green. Research shows that exposure to green light reduces the pain's intensity by 60%. It is also suitable for people experiencing stress and anxiety.

Green light also gives off a calm and relaxed ambiance, which is pertinent if you want an atmosphere that promotes rest. Most headaches go away with a good night's rest.

Bright and high-intensity lights are common factors that aggravate headaches. Therefore, white, red, and especially blue are colors you should avoid.

Studies have shown that light brightness affects the way a person experiences emotion. Strong light increases both positive and negative reactions. Thus if a person has a headache, they will feel the pain more strongly when exposed to bright light.

Best LED Light Color for Sleep 

The colors perfect for sleeping are green, amber, and red because these colors promote the production of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone responsible for your body experiencing sleepiness.

Amber and Red

We see amber and red during sunset, the time that signals the end of the day. Our body reacts to these colors by increasing our appetite and feeling tired afterward. The parasympathetic nervous system or "rest and digest" response is responsible for this.

Amber and red LED lights block blue light, a color that promotes alertness and focus. You should avoid bright colors common during the daytime, like white and yellow.

Color temperature also affects our melatonin release. The lower the scale, the less melatonin production is hampered. Amber and red LED lights measure between 1000K to 4000K(Kelvin), at or near the lowest possible color temperature. Therefore, those who often wake up in the middle of the night will find it easy to go back to sleep.

Green

Dim green LED light produces a soothing and relaxing effect on a person's state. Green is a relatively easy color for the human eye to process. It is because green light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency than blue light, which contributes to its calming effects.

Best LED Light Color for Studying 

Natural white/Daylight (5500K-6500K) is the most optimal LED light for studying. It helps you study longer and keep you focused because it simulates the daytime light when our body is at its most active and alert state.

Here are the benefits of natural white.

1. Comfort in focusing
2. Provides good color quality to text and pictures
3. Blocks melatonin production
4. Boost mood, concentration, and energy

Suppose you want a LED light that results in excellent color quality for items in a room. In that case, we suggest a 90 or higher rate in the Color Rendering Index (CRI).

Preference

The following LED lights for studying depend on personal preference.

Warm White (2700K - 3000K)

Benefits:

1. Closer in color temperature to traditional incandescent bulbs, creating a more comfortable and familiar lighting environment for studying.
2. Less harsh and easier on the eyes than cool white LED lights, making it easier to focus and study for long periods.
3. Create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, which may be more conducive to studying than a cold and sterile environment.

Cool White (4000K - 5000K)

Benefits:

1. Provides more light and has a brighter appearance than warm white LED lights, making it easier to see and focus on small details.
2. Create a clean and modern atmosphere, which may be more conducive to studying than a warm and cozy environment.
3. Preferred for those times when a higher level of clarity and precision is required.

Light setup you want to avoid when studying at night

• Avoid using the PC or laptop monitor as your only light source. It promotes bad posture and has adverse effects on your eyes.
• Intense light whose angle reflects glare in the monitor to your eyes.
• Light source whose angle produces shadows that hinder clear vision on your study materials.

Best LED Light Color for Gaming

RGB (red, green, blue) LED lighting is popular in gaming because it allows users to customize the color and intensity of the lighting in their setup. This lighting can create a more immersive and personalized gaming experience and help reduce eye strain and fatigue during long gaming sessions.

Benefits:

• Allows users to choose from a wide range of colors and adjust the intensity of the lighting to create the perfect ambiance for their gaming setup.
• Can help enhance the overall gaming experience by adding an extra layer of immersion.
• Some studies have suggested that specific colors and intensities of light can help reduce eye strain and fatigue. Therefore they can be particularly beneficial during long gaming sessions.
• Many gaming peripherals and systems can sync the RGB LED lighting with in-game lighting, which can help create a more seamless and immersive experience.
• Accent lighting breaks up the monotonous parts of certain games, such as grinding for levels and farming for items.

Things to Do to Minimize Eyestrain

1. The distance between you and the screen must be at least two feet.
2. Since you won't be blinking as much, we suggest you use lubricating eye drops.
3. Employ the 20/20/20 rule (if possible) – a guideline that suggests taking a 20-second break to look at something at least 20 feet away every 20 minutes while working on a computer or other devices with a screen.
