My favorite ones are the ones from people who’s were the unfortunate victims of amazons garbage user interface
Saw a white led where you could buy in various color temperatures but you had to select and the default was 5000k/cool white (blue white). First review was a guy that expected amber/warm white/3000k and it was cool white. It said he had purchased the 5000k option. Sorry that amazons ux is absolute shit dude but I guess the cool white is what it’s supposed to be
Similarly the amount of “answered questions” that are just “I don’t know, why are you asking me??” Because amazon sends obnoxious unclear emails asking for product feedback to customers and then posts the answers with 0 moderation or review. So your grandma gets an email like “does your new toaster have smart capabilities that work with 2.4ghz wifi?” And she’s a trump person that can’t handle defying even the mildest authority figure so she answers, even if her reply is utterly useless

Oof, I get it, though… The difference between warm white and cool white is enough to make me want to die. I personally have a soul and enjoy being alive, so I prefer warm white myself.

my home actually has adaptive lighting, highly recommend. Gradually changes from cool to warm through the day
github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting
Need home assistant although some things like homekit can do adaptive lighting too, just not as feature rich. You also need bulbs that can do the full spectrum of white (or rgb) obviously
But the home assistant one can adjust based on sunlight, dim the lights concurrently in a specific room to help with sleep, and customize it (like most times the primary advantage of HA vs commercial options)
