Do Negative ion air purifying light bulbs have any other properties?

Negative ion air purifying light bulbs also have the capacity to produce negative ions (3,000,000 per second) to restore the balance between positive ions and negative ions in the air.

In fact, indoor air is usually very lacking in negative ions, unlike the air found in forests, at the seaside or near a waterfall.

When negative ions are produced, they react with existing particles suspended in the atmosphere, the effect of which is to pull them towards the ground, which in this way purifies the air breathed.

What does 6400K and 2700K mean?

This is the measurement of colour temperature using a scale: that of Degrees Kelvin, named after its inventor.
The higher the figure in the scale, the whiter the light.
6400K is considered to be closer to daylight.
2700K is considered a warmer light, and suitable for more subdued and domestic lighting.
Choice of colour temperature depends on individual application criteria.
