1. Type of Globe

• Check the lamp holder on the light fitting. There should be a fine print sticker that shows the name of the globe type. If you have a match with the above picture, you are done!

• Check the product packaging or manual. The globe type is usually stated in the on the globe, on the box, or on the specs sheet.

2. Globe Colour Temperature

Once you have identified the right globe type, the next step is to decide the colour temperature of the globe based on your own preference. Colour temperature is essentially the coolness or warmness of the globe when it’s switched on. Colour temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin (K) and the number indicates the warmness/coolness of the globe:

• The higher the colour temperature, the cooler the colour produced by the globe, and the more towards the blue spectrum the colour of the light will be.
• The lower the colour temperature, the warmer the colour produced by the globe, and further towards the orange/red spectrum the colour of the light will be.
