I was gonna flame you but the reality is both have their place. Sunlight bulbs in hallways and bathrooms looks awful. You can’t see shit and they cast long shadows which makes visibility worse. Daylight bulbs are great for those areas.

That said daylight bulbs are too harsh in the living areas so I understand both sides.

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

I love my warm bulbs!

...wait...

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Gimme 5k temperature light bulbs

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

3000K or GTFO

You guys use lightbulbs?

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

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

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.
