Hello LEDs!


I've always been very intrigued by string lights. Something about those lights just makes a place look magical to me. The bar of the restaurant where I work just happens to be covered with string lights, so I decided I'd try to capture the environment I get to experience every night at work. To my surprise, the lights are LED and not incandescent. I figured  they would be incandescent because they appear so warm. I wasn't taking into account that LED lighting can range in color. I went on to touch them and they  weren't at all warm. The lights have a color temperature description that reads "warm white".   It's crazy how these changes from our old sources to LED have been happening in so many areas of our everyday lives and a bunch of people like me don't even  realize it.

  1. Oh neat!!! They definitely look incandescent to me too! It's amazing how much better we are getting at designing LED's that look and feel like what we have in our homes! Awesome.
