RGB Lights Vs. RGBW Lights – What's The Difference
Posted by Dara Greaney on 12/13/2022 to
LED Lights
RGBW refers to red, green, blue, and white light. RGBW was developed after RGB. If your science class serves you right, remember that there are three primary optical colors; red, green, and blue. RGB is based on numerous combinations of all three primary colors. The principle of color light emission is the basis of its design. RGB Lights can be described as three different colors: red, green, and blue. The colors are mixed, and the combined brightness equals the total brightness of the two lights when their lights are superimposed on one another. Brightness increases with increasing mixing degree, which is additive mixing.
But. . . RGB is a different scale than CCT or color corrected temperature/ kelvin. You can have a RGB light and try a tone of brown, but it may never be that warm white 2700K-3000K that you want because its missing a piece.
