For a work area or passage, a cooler light, around 4000 kelvins, makes relief and colours clearer. The main thing is to keep the same temperature on all points of the same facade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you combine a security light, wall light and floor lamp with PIR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single unit above a door leaves shadow gaps.
