@giobbymenta - I think he meant at 0:42 a yellowy, "custardy" colour, as in apple pie and custard!! Although I suspect you may have made your comment tongue in cheek, no?!! 😀

@@mtm4a Ahh custardy, haha I couldn't make out the word. thanks

Yes. I prefer 3000k all the way. 2700k maybe for focus area like bedside for more cozy n relaxing

Cheers mate, appreciate it 👍

@@arrowelectricaldurham so if i go 2700k is it definitely yellow on both daylight, coolwhite and warm white, or yellow just on warm white.

man you re right the 4000k is neutral but not the same as sun The sun is 5800K and the best is around that if 3 gu10 probably the best is use two 6000k and one 4000

If you have open concept kitchen living room do all the light colors need to be the same?

@@CarmellaNYC That's the best practice, yes. The overheads need to match each other, and the accent/mood/task lighting should match between rooms, but the overheads and accents don't HAVE to match. IE if you have overheads at 4000k or 5000k, you can have your pendant/chandelier over your dining table be 3000k, 2700k, or 2200k, but you'll also want your reading lights in the living room to match that pendant if it's open concept.

Depends on the manufacturer. The Osram brand that's available where I am call their 4000K cool white and 6500K daylight.

I've heard 4000k as cool white.

4000k is called cool white

4000k is natural light... Not cool white...

Yeah, 5000k would be Daylight and about 6000/6500k would be cool light. Companies throwing together light packs will arbitrarily name it "cool light" at some (actually) warmer light temperature such as 4000k

No where. I never go above 4000K. 3000K is ideal. 2700K is too yellow.

@@GrigRP not that much difference in 300k! I love me some 2700k!

Mate, you’re far too kind, always a pleasure 👍

No, for that application you will need 227 series of WAGO connectors.

Four years ago I needed to pigtail some wires in my sub panel and used the Wagos because to me they look neat and don't take a lot of space. Four years later I'm doing a panel change and those Wagos are still as snug as they were the day I put them in. As an added caveat, they're UL approved. A word of caution though, there seem to be a lot of imitations and knock-offs out there that are NOT UL approved, and they're pure chit. IMHO the REAL Wagos are the bomb.

Bravo

That is a great reason to have them.

Can I use these for a light switch cablr in the UK? I accidentally drilled in the cable which was in my wall for my light so I turned of my electricity and I am currently using them plastic blocks. The cable ran from inside my wall and into the light switch. I have currently cut the cable and was wondering if I can use these to join two ends together

@@thealien_ali3382 yep you can I'd put them in a junction box of some kind though don't be the guy that buries exposed terminal connecters lol

@@thealien_ali3382 I know they're UL approved in the US, and CEC approved in Canada, but I'm not sure about the UK. I have used them here in the US to pigtail short wires in switch boxes and receptacles. Best I know it's not allowed anywhere to splice wires inside the wall. Most electrical codes that I know of require access to the splice. Here in the US you would have to pull a new wire or put in a J-box. If you know where the wire is damaged, I'm thinking you could buy a old work box and use that as your j-box. Cut a hole in the sheetrock just big enough for the old work box, pull the damaged wire into the old work box, and run a new wire over to the original box. You can make your splice inside the new work box and cover it with a blank or decorative wall plate. OR you could just cut a hole for a new work box, remove the old switch box, and fill the hole with a sheetrock patch.

too bright!

Sounds horrible.

and the lampshade is all transparent and crystal like.

8000k? What the hell were you thinking?

Brah 8000k is slowly making u blind

You can order them online from various sources.

@@surferdude642 from a US supplier? If you know of any please share.

@@timmedification I think you're correct as most suppliers are UK. Ideal is an American company and by contacting them, they can likely steer you to American suppliers.

I'm looking for them, too! It was just by accident I found out Wago even makes these. I love the 221 series, and have been dreaming of an inline. Wonder why we can't get them in the States? Hopefully not the dreaded "supply chain issues"...

I see them all over in FL. I personally feel they are just junk. But that is myself and most of my coworkers.

Y=hh

Yes we're well aware that's the correct pronunciation thanks, V-A-R-G-O 99% of our customers refer to them as U-E-G-O
