• Neutral light (3500K - 4000K): Its hue is close to natural daylight, impartial, neither the excessive yellowish halo of warm light nor the cold white of cold light, which can present the real color and details of wine and wine cabinet in an extremely natural and soft way.
• Cold white light (5000K - 6000K): Higher color temperature, the light shows a cool white tone, with a strong sense of modernity and technology, can shape a simple and bright, rich sense of space visual effect.

For the wine cabinet strip light, 3000K to 4000K can be called the golden color temperature range. 3000K of warm light for the wine cabinet with a layer of warm coat, so that the wine in its illumination of the bottle color and lustre is more deep and mellow, whether it is a rich red wine reddish-brown, or white wine crystal, can be highlighted in the warm light in the unique texture and flavor.

This installation not only effectively avoids the discomfort caused by direct light to the human eye, but also in an extremely natural way to emphasize the protagonist status of the wine, making it more noble in the embrace of light.
• Wine cabinet back or side panel: When the light strip is placed on the back or side panel of the wine cabinet, the light will be like a behind-the-scenes artist, quietly outlining the elegant outline of the wine bottle from the back or side, giving the wine a mysterious and fascinating three-dimensional sense.

• Choose soft diffused light strips: Light strips with light guides or frosted materials are like a gentle light wizard, able to subtly soften the otherwise hard light, eliminating annoying light spots and blinding glare, and spreading the light evenly and gently over every inch of the wine cabinet like a trickle of water. This not only provides a suitable lighting environment for the wines, but also takes care of the visual sensation of the viewer, creating a comfortable and cozy viewing atmosphere.

Therefore, it is recommended to use light strips with dimming function, as if the wine cabinet lighting is equipped with a caring butler, who can flexibly and freely adjust the light brightness according to different wine-tasting scenarios (e.g., private tasting, friends' party display, etc.) and display needs (e.g., highlighting the wine label, displaying the shape of the bottles, etc.), so that the lighting of the wine cabinet will always be in an optimal state.
