Re: Before & After Video of Lafayette Ave LED Lighting Upgrade

The Kelvin measure of a light source is the temperature of a radiating black body that emits that color light.

LEDs obviously don't emit a single frequency (for example, "white" isn't a frequency of light but a blend of a wide range of frequencies). So you can't use frequency or wave length very well when describing an LED.

Having said that much, I don't really understand the definition. Does a black body at 4000 Kelvin really radiate the same spectrum as a 4000 Kelvin LED, or is that just a useful approximation?
