When selecting a DOB (Driver on Board) back-lit panel with built-in driver brightness options (30W/50W) and various color temperatures (4000K, 5000K, 6500K), here are some factors to consider:

Brightness Selection

1. 30W vs. 50W:
   • 30W: Suitable for smaller spaces or for ambient lighting where high intensity is not required.
   • 50W: Ideal for larger spaces or areas requiring brighter illumination.

Color Temperature

1. 4000K (Neutral White):
   • Provides a balanced, neutral light.
   • Good for general workspaces, retail environments, and areas where a natural light feel is desired.
2. 5000K (Cool White):
   • Produces a bright, crisp light.
   • Suitable for offices, hospitals, and areas where task lighting is crucial.
3. 6500K (Daylight):
   • Mimics natural daylight.
   • Best for environments requiring high visibility and focus, such as inspection areas, laboratories, and some commercial spaces.

Application Considerations

1. Type of Space:
   • Office Spaces: 4000K or 5000K for a balance between warmth and brightness.
   • Retail: 4000K for a warm, inviting atmosphere; 5000K for showcasing products clearly.
   • Industrial/Workspaces: 5000K or 6500K for high visibility and productivity.
2. Visual Comfort:
   • Higher color temperatures (5000K and 6500K) might cause glare in some settings, so consider the layout and placement of the lights.
   • For areas where prolonged exposure to light is expected, a lower color temperature (4000K) can reduce eye strain.

Other Factors

1. Dimming Capability: Ensure the panel supports dimming if you need adjustable brightness.
2. Energy Efficiency: Check the energy consumption and efficiency ratings.
3. Lifespan and Warranty: Consider the durability and warranty offered by the manufacturer.
