Westinghouse is an Energy Star ® Manufacturing Partner

As a manufacturer of Energy Star ® labeled lamps, Westinghouse encourages every U.S. household to make sure their next lamp is Energy Star ® approved. If every U.S. household in the United States changed one lamp in their home to Energy Star ® :

• We would save 857 billion kWh of energy and keep one trillion pounds of greenhouse gases out of the air.

• Our annual energy savings alone would be equivalent to the annual output of more than 21 power plants.

• Our annual savings could power more than 4 million U.S. homes for one year.

Westinghouse is committed to providing consumers with products that have earned the Energy Star ® label in order to protect the environment while saving energy and money.

Color temperature

Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, and other fields. The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator that radiates light of comparable hue to that light source. The temperature is conventionally stated in units of absolute temperature, known as Kelvin [K].

Higher color temperatures (5,000 K or more) are called cool colors which appear blue-white. Mid-range color temperatures (3,500–4,100 K) look bright white. Lower color temperatures (2700K–3000K) are called warm colors and range from red to yellowish-white in tone.
