  Nah 3kK is cool enough for work unless you’re like a graphic designer that needs to see colours accurately. 2.7kK for the rest of the house btw

    I need those blues though to keep me awake

      Exactly.

      Changing the lights in the office room to the brightest daylight variant I could find and adding an additional 5000 Lux desk lamp during winter months was a gamechanger for focus and productivity.

      Still enjoy the warm glow of the living room lights in the evening, though.

    Good luck doing any soldering with that.

      I solder with 2700k lighting all the time for extended periods of time. Not sure what the problem is.

        Shadows are soft and pertinax color doesn’t help.

        I have 2700k spots at my work desk’s soldering station, I honestly couldn’t tell you why but I prefer it. Maybe because I’ve always had warm lighting when soldering. Makes me wanna get neutral or cold spots and try that for a change.

        For me the bigger issue is light intensity, I swear the old lighting setup at that work desk was as bright as a grave light… dunno how anyone could use that.

    If you paint you need those 5000 ones or your paintings will look like shit.

      Meanwhile all the good paintings were from before lights were invented

        I would think that accurate color representation would’ve generally required the bright lights and broad spectrum coverage of sunlight, so I imagine people just…painted during the day, by daylight.

  Dear god no, you never want mixed light, it’s like walking into an alien space ship or from the Arctic to the Sahara desert just by going to a different room.

    Wow, didn’t about it this way…

    But for me: Hell, yeah! Added bonus!

    Signals the primeval parts of your brain:
    “Here you have to fight to survive the horrors of the pleistocean ice shield!”

    Or, after changing the room:
    “This is your dimly fire-lid cave, here you are save to relax!”

  Or go full high-tech and install lights with adjustable color temperature.

  I may be ahead of the curve a bit. Adjustable colour temp didn’t seem enough. My whole apartment has RGB bulbs since about 5-6 years ago. I just couldn’t go back to on/off one shade lights ugh.

  Also I rock a 300w LED panel to get a bit more brightness in my winter days, but that’s not RGB though.

  • dangling_cat@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Most strips are RGB. The one you are looking for is RGBWW. Full RGB and Warm & White. But they are expensive ><

    source

    • Dasus@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I mean yeah they are RGBWW if you put it like that but wouldn’t RGB already include different temps of white? So all of my bulbs are Hue, and yes, they were somewhat of an investment even though my apt is not that huge. Like 300e total years ago though, for uhmm the basic 250e colour set, 5 e36 bulbs hub and remote, and then later I also bought two e14s.

      But the LED panel I have is actually a 300w growlight. I couldn’t put it on full I’d burn my eyes. But it serves very well as light therapy on the mildest setting. It’s not got any adjustments except a dimmer though.

        I’ve been rocking my same hue lights for 8 years. I love having blue and red in the same light fixture. Creates a nice night purple with funny shadows.

  We have a “sunshine” script in Home Assistant that sets all bulbs to daylight and 100%. Great for livening up overcast days.

  This. My wife loves warm light, but I dislike it. I find my visual acuity better under daylight lights, and find myself cursing if I’m trying to work on something (screws in kids toys or whatever)

• Magister@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’m like this, home office, kitchen, bathroom etc is daylight like 5k, only the bedroom and a corner lamp in the couch room are 3k.

  Personally I just go for warm white for places which should be cozy and cold white for places with a more utilitarian use.

  Cold white LED light bulbs are actually more efficient, so I’ll even get more light out of the same power lamp making it easier to see what I’m doing (which is what you generally need lights for in an utilitarian use location).
