For a reading corner or a sofa, a warm tone around 2700 to 3000 K remains a comfortable reference; for an office, a more neutral light around 4000 K helps when reading a document. These ranges come from everyday use, not from a measurement taken on the fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bulb that is too powerful for the socket heats up needlessly: stay below the stated 60 W ceiling.
