RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue, the three primary colours of light. An RGB LED lighting source combines these three in varying intensities to produce virtually any colour across the visible spectrum, including warm white, cool white, and every colour in between.
Whether it is worth the additional cost depends entirely on the use case.
RGB LED lighting is worth it when:
- The environment needs to change mood or atmosphere across different times of day or different events
- Brand colour matching is required and the brand colour is specific enough that standard warm or cool white does not serve it
- The venue or event runs different visual themes that require different lighting
- Social media content is a priority and colour variety makes for better visual content
RGB is probably not worth it when:
- The lamp is going into a fixed environment with a consistent visual identity
- The person controlling the lamp is unlikely to use the colour-changing function regularly
- The budget difference between RGB and standard white would be better spent on a higher quality diffuser or frame
Boardsy offers RGB options across the floor lamp, light box, and table centre ranges. The custom LED standing lamp and the wireless round column table centre are two formats where RGB adds the most value.
