To understand the difference between daylight and soft white bulbs, I first needed to learn a little bit about color temperature, or the appearance of the light produced by a bulb. According to Burke, 'Color temperature refers to the hue of visible light, measured in Kelvin (K).' A lower Kelvin value indicates warmer, yellowish light that feels inviting and cozy. Higher Kelvin values indicate cooler, bluish light that is more akin to bright, crisp daylight.
Soft white bulbs have a color temperature that falls between 2700K to 3000K and emit a soft, warm glow. Choosing a soft white bulb gives off a similar feeling to candlelight or firelight. The big takeaway? If you want to create an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, you'll definitely want to opt for soft white bulbs.
