How To Choose The Right LED track light
Choose the right color temperature LED track light:Color temperature has an important impact on the display effect of artwork. Warm white light (2700K-3000K) is suitable for displaying classical artworks, creating a warm and soft atmosphere; neutral white light (3500K-4000K) is suitable for modern artworks, which can truly restore the color and texture of the works.

A light source with a high CRI (CRI>90) is able to more realistically reproduce the colors of an object, resulting in richer and more vivid colors and details in the artwork.
