Warm white vs cool white vs daylight — which is best for each room?
Choose your lighting based on the Kelvin (K) number and your room's color scheme. Use 3000K (Warm White) for a cozy feel, 4000K (Cool White) for a balanced, neutral look, and 6500K (Daylight) for high-visibility areas.

Choose Warm White to turn your house into a sanctuary, and save Daylight for the spaces where the real work gets done.
When in doubt, 4000K is the safest "all-rounder" for modern Singaporean homes.
