I would like a recommendation for a bulb size and K . We are lighting a pathway of pavers in a public garden. There will be around 50 fixtures. The fixtures are around 8 ft. apart I am thinking 3W bulbs. Would you recommend 2700 or 3000K. Which has the most "warmth" in lighting? Thanks! Anxious for spring to happen so we can start on this proje t.
Hey Bill, 2700K (warm white) is the most commonly preferred color temperature for residential lighting applications. Either 2W or 3W could look beautiful; 2W has an output of 200 Lumens whereas 3W has an output of 300 lumens, so it would depend if you're preferring more subtle illumination or brighter illumination. For some additional reference, here are customer submitted photos of 3W LEDs being used: ^This is a 3W 2700K. ^These are 3W 3000K bulbs. This customer obviously wanted brighter illumination for the extremely dark path way.
