I love my daylight bulbs

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Only warm white 2700k. Any other colour is for sociopaths.

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

for a kitchen, especially the lights over the counter, being 5-6k, is wonderful to cook.

Doesnt warm light make you eepy? Seems like a good reason not to use it in rooms where you wanna be productive.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 7 points 1 month ago

I don’t have this problem. Cold light puts me on edge though.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This scale feels wrong. 4000K is neutral white and should have no hue. Of course, that depends subjectively on what the light around is. 6000K should only be in the center if you're outside a lot. And the difference between 6000K and 10000K is greatly exaggerated. Not even the visible portion of "infinite" Kelvin is that blue if 6000K is calibrated to white.

My sisters can't decide which ones she wants to use, so every room has a different lighting hue. Most rooms have different bulbs for each lamp, so hot and cold are right next to eachothert

Warm light feels so ...indoors... to me, I don't quite know how to put it, but I don't like it. It makes me feel like I'm in a 90s home. White light feels natural and nice.

Blue lights suck. Yellow lights suck. White lights (6000K full-spectrum) are good, but more expensive and harder to find.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

We accidentally installed a white light bulb in the hallway outside my bedroom. It made me feel so pissed off and on edge every time my door was open and someone turned that light on.

Once we swapped it to a warm bulb I was much more chill.

I do keep a tunable light bulb in a task lamp, but the rest of the lighting in the house is warm.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Daylight bulbs only belong in the bathroom. That's the only place I want to see things that bright. Also, if there's anyplace you want to feel sterile and hospital like, wouldn't it be the bathroom?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

I want going to the bathroom to feel like the scene in Fear & Loathing where there's a dude getting high off LSD by licking it off another dude's sleeves.

Gimme 5k temperature light bulbs

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH 7 points 1 month ago

I have full spectrum bulbs in my office to help stave off SAD

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

For the people saying “5kK+ in the office, 3kK- in the bedroom” what do you use in your kitchen? In your bathroom?

A theory, it's you life somewhere warm you want white light. If you life somewhere cold you want warm orange light

I use one in my houseplants. Actual house plants - there's a dispensary a block away from me for the rare times I feel like getting high.

3000K or GTFO

I want my home to have full range color equivalent to open windows. But I prefer my lights to change color with the sun so as not to mess with my circadian rhythm. Incandescent color bulbs just remind me of being a kid visiting the elderly. I'm mostly a "open the blinds instead of turning on a light" purist during the day.

Also, emberlight for bedtime, and simulated sunrise as an alarm. Though my wife hates both of those as I have to wake up earlier than her.

Just buy every K value in an even distribution to get all the benefits

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

thats why I eat Special K every morning, so I can have a heavenly glow right out of my rectum

Don't forget to take your Ketamine first

[–] MoffKalast@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

There's a solution here you're not seeing... RGB lights. Setting the hue on the fly to match what I need has been pretty neat. Pure white for work, natural white for relaxing, red only for venting in the summer since insects can't see it, green and blue strobe for dance nights, the only limit is your imagination. Living in the future has at least a few perks to go with all the downsides.

[–] fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Though IME, the light quality of a real white LED is better than the mix of an RGB led. Also interesting: the cooler the LED is the higher the quality of the light.

FYI, CRI is more important for image forming cells. CCT that includes a specific blue (440-495nm) may improve waking.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Warm in living room, bedroom, and hallway.

Cold everywhere else. So, bathroom, kitchen, garage, and closet.

Warm where you want cozy. Cold where you want honesty.

I have a light fixture with adjustable light temperature. Colder light helps me to wake up faster.

[–] omega_x3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Warm lights in bedroom lamps daylight in ceiling lights. Though it always looks like my bedroom is on fire when I look down a dark hallway towards it.
