RGB lights work because red, green, and blue light wavelengths can be combined to produce a combination of colors that can go perfectly with any home. Together, these three colors also create a soft white light to create a perfect ambiance. But how does it do this? By using red, blue, and green as additive colors you can create any color. Mixing the colors at full brightness creates different colors than when you turn them down from their maximum intensity. For example, if you turn up the brightness of red and blue while lowering the green you get purple. Turn down the blue light and turn up the green and red light to make yellow. By mixing these three colors at various intensities you can create 16 million color combinations! This means endless possibilities for the lighting effects in your home.
You're probably wondering, if it's the combination of three colors, why don't I see the individual colors? I should be seeing red, green, and blue, not an orange color! Well, the colored lights are so small and put together so tightly that your eyes naturally blend them together. Thus, unlike traditional light bulbs, with RGB lighting you get millions of color options from the brightest white to the deepest purple! This is one of the biggest reasons RGB light strips have become such a favorite for Christmas lights. You don't have to pick between white or colored lights. With RGB light, you can have both!
While we've established they can create a wide range of colors, what else are RGB lights used for? Studies show that different colors can create a different mood, so you can change the light to how you're feeling. Green LED lights, for example, give off a sense of serenity and low stress, while blue LED lights give a feeling of calmness. Blue or white light is also best for offices or workspaces as it helps to concentrate. Warmer yellow and orange lighting is best for relaxing. Whether in your living room or outside your house you can use the colors to get the right feel for you!
LED lights are the primary lights used in RGB strips. LED lights by themselves tend to only create a harsh white look that is good for focus and commercial spaces. Combine those LED lights with RGB lights and you can once again create multiple colors in an ambiance that suits you. LED RGB lights are perfect since LED lights don't emit a lot of heat so when you're mixing up your colors, you don't have to worry about using strong vibrant colors.
The beauty of RGB light sources is being able to choose the color you want. That means these lights can be used anywhere from outside to create a little ambiance as you come into your house or a kid's playroom to add that playful splash of color. You'll just need to choose the right RGB light for your needs and the area of your house where you'll install them. With the calmness of the blue lighting we talked about above, you could even use it in the bedroom to create the perfect atmosphere. Many people also use the many color options and lighting effects as mood lighting. Any indoor or outdoor space would benefit from blue, red, and green LEDs.
RGB strip lights are primarily used outside. You've probably noticed the year-round Christmas lights that have become popular. These lights are most likely RGB LED strip lights or another type of RGB lighting. They use primary colors to give you millions of color options. When you put up RGB LED strips outside, you'll have the option to use these colors on your home to celebrate every holiday and event.
If you're using RGB LEDs inside, you can match any mood or event with every color imaginable. The RGB color model allows you to create any color combination you want.
