LEDs & Color Some of our LED products, Lamps in particular, are available in different Light colors. The different colors of light have different applications and your choice will ultimately be affected by what you wish to use your lighting product for. Here is a brief guide to the common colors available.  
Color Chart The color of light and its wavelength
The color of the light we see is determined by its wavelength, which in turn is often used to denote the color of light. The wavelengths associated with light are tiny and measured in nanometres (nm) - billionths of a meter. LEDs produce light that is almost coherent, meaning that it is almost all on one wavelength, giving very pure colors. Here is an approximate guide to the colors of light and their wavelengths.

Ultra Violet LEDULTRA-VIOLET (UV/A):
370nm - Nearly invisible, can appear a dull, deep purple when filtered with Wood's glass.

White LEDWHITE:
White LEDs come in a wide range of shades from yellowish to purplish white. The most noticeable color cast is generally in the centre of the beam and is usually slightly blue, surrounded by "pure" white. color temperatures for common types of white LED range from the low 4000°s to nearly 12000°K, with the most commonly found white LEDs being in the 6500° - 8000°K range. "Daylight" for photographic purposes is 5600°K. Most incandescent domestic light bulbs barely achieve 2500°K.

WARNING:
Ultra Violet light can cause serious damage to the eyes.

Never direct the beam of a UV light source into the eyes of any living creature.
