My partner is driving me up a wall with “No one thinks about kelvins, just buy the 40W!” and I’m over here trying to explain why I’m taking time picking bulbs in a certain Kelvin range and figuring out the needed lumens for a room.
Bonus points for a simple diagram or a true (emphasis on 5) explanation I can link to her.
Cheers!

Lumens/watts are two ways of measuring brightness. If you want more light, you want more lumens. But too much can be unpleasantly bright.
Temperature measures color. Lower numbers are more yellow like an old light bulb and higher numbers are more blue like the sun. People have different preferences, and mismatched temperatures are very noticeable, so people like them to match across a room.
