Better have a warm colour than cold feeling in the space

Totally depends on the colour scheme and the intended use of the kitchen. Both options above match their colour scheme. If you're looking to entertain often in the kitchen the maybe brighter colours?

If you're looking for something more homely and snug then warmer colours and lighting. But of course this is only our opinion :)

Agreed that the intended use of the kitchen makes a big difference on the colours chosen. Nothing says a family kitchen like warm hues where as blue shades tend to give more of an entertainment feel perfect for entertaining.

Personally I believe the best type of kitchen lighting is in between warm and ambient and cool and crisp. This is due to the usage of a kitchen throughout the day. It's nice to have a cool white light in the morning and a warmer light in the evening. There is also a tunable white LED which can be mixed to create the desired colour of white light.

Warm is a much better option to create inviting and relaxing ambiance, i consider warm white to be 2700k but more often than not, when it comes to LED Strip lighting, our customers specify our 2500k and 97 CRI version. CRI is a critical aspect of lighting that often goes unmentioned - CRI stands for Colour Rendering Index and it's a score out of 100 that defines how well a light source will bring out the true colours of the objects it illuminates. So if you want your red sofa, green apple or yellow painting to look as vibrant and colourful as it should, you want CRI as close to 100 as you can get. We specialise in high CRI LED Lighting !
