Understanding LED Color Consistency: The Crucial Role of Macadam Ellipse Sorting

LED color consistency has an easy explanation. Everyone can notice when color consistency is poor, especially in the case of white light. The image below shows this clearly, the white LED light has different shades.
Thus, high color consistency means all white LED have the same shade while poor color consistency looks like in the image above. This is the most extreme of cases, with LEDs or luminaries having all the shades of white mixed up: warm white, pure white and cold white in one installation. However, the same phenomenon exists for products marketed as warm white, pure (natural) white or cold white.
White light has different shades
While there is no consensus, warm white light for LEDs has a value of 2500K-4000K on the color temperature scale, pure white 4000K-5000K and cold white 5000K-10.000K.
