How We Perceive Light Through the Seasons. Ways to Warmly Brighten Winter Nights. Add the Warmth of a 2°C Perceived Temperature Increase to Your Winter Lifestyle with Brass Lighting
Color Is Essential to Winter Light
The cool white light that feels refreshing in summer can seem somewhat lonely and cold on winter nights. The golden rule for winter lighting is to opt for a thoroughly low Kelvin (warm bulb) color temperature. It is said that the orange glow of 2200K–2700K works on the brain through the eyes, slightly raising your perceived temperature.
Maximize the Warmth of Brass
CTSH brass lighting truly comes into its own in winter.
・The Synergistic Effect of Warm Colors: When the warm glow of a bulb reflects off the brass surface, the inherent coldness of the metal disappears, transforming it into a color that evokes the warmth of a fireplace.
・The Softness of a Blasted Finish: For winter nights with deep shadows, a blasted finish that softly diffuses light is highly recommended. It softens the corners of a space, creating a comforting, enveloping atmosphere.
Key Tips!
Eliminate Chilly Shadows with Multiple Light Sources: A single ceiling light leaves cold shadows in the corners of the room. By adding floor lamps or wall lights and scattering light at lower levels, visual warmth spreads throughout the entire room.
Pairing with Fabrics: Wool or cashmere blankets and heavy curtains. When the light of brass illuminates these winter materials, their textures stand out even more, creating an even more comfortable space.
