Recently kitted put the whole apartment with Philips Hue lights. Love my colourful jungle vibe showers.

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

There are ones that are adjustable. I don’t have to choose one or the other.

This is the kind of constructive, rational and informed opinion that flies in the very face of the concept of internet forums and everything for which they stand. If you won’t rabidly advocate for an extreme position on an insignificant issue with an irrationally vitriolic diatribe, what are you even doing here? This is Lemmy Shitpost. Please observe the appropriate decorum, and comment accordingly. So fuck you and the ISP you rode in on. You can have my daylight bulbs when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers.

Thank you for the phrase “and the ISP you rode in on” which I will be shamelessly stealing from you

But you do.
You just choose every minute of every day instead of each time when you run out to Home Depot so you can finish whatever you were doing.

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

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.

I live my smart lights for this. I can change them at my whim. By default they’re brighter and whiter during the day, slowly moving dimmer and yellow after sunset. Or I can make them whatever other color but I do that pretty rarely.
It’s also fully offline and no WiFi used.

You can’t just sell me on your smart lights and not name the brand/model
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 hours ago
Brand/model isn’t important.
You’ll need a HomeAsstant controller. You can buy one premade premade or you can look up tutorials and make your own with a raspberry pi or old laptop or PC. Then you’ll need a ZigBee controller, this is a radio that will talk to your smart lights and other accessories.
You then get ZigBee compatible lights. Phillips Hue is the top of the line but so stupidily expensive I’d never recommend it. Innr makes good ones at half the cost. ThirdReality makes decent ones too for even cheaper.
You’ll probably also want some ZigBee switches to have physical controls for your lights instead of just by phone. They make models that replace your actual light switches. Or, if you rent like me and can’t modify that, you can get battery powered ones that stick on the wall. Battery life is like a year or more so not too bad.
That’ll do it. You can also use HomeAssistant now that you’ve got it. It’s a home automation software that’s open source and locally controlled. You can hook up much more than your lights. Smart plugs, your TV, 3D printer, fans, cameras, tons of sensors, your thermostat, robovac, etc. Then make automations that connect them. For example my living room ZigBee switch, one press up toggles the main lights. Double press for the lamp. Hold down and it turns off all lights and the TV. Some lights like my closet light are controlled by a door sensor instead of a switch, so they come on automatically. Some people prefer motion sensors so all lights are automatic. Turn off stuff automatically when you leave, etc.

I love my warm bulbs!
…wait…
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
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.

lack of honesty in the bedroom sounds bad, yet the opposite also sounds terrible

Just buy every K value randomly to get all the benefits

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

White lamps are only for looking for things we lost while operating under warm lamps. Also for when doing more than 1 thing in the kitchen.

FYI, CRI is more important for image forming cells. CCT that includes a specific blue (440-495nm) may improve waking.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
I have a light fixture with adjustable light temperature. Colder light helps me to wake up faster.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Por que los dos?
For my bedroom I have the ceiling light with two 13W(100W equiv.) for when I need the light and a 6W(6W equiv.) GE ‘vintage’ LED in a nightstand lamp for the rest of the time.
Rooster326@programming.dev 10 hours ago
Why not just buy a dimmer switch?
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I already have one, but not for color tone. The ‘vintage’ is supposed to simulate candlelight, while daylight simulates the sun.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Imagine having a bulb that you can’t change the colour of at will.
Rooster326@programming.dev 12 hours ago
Imagine having a bulb that doesn’t require an account
WFloyd@lemmy.world [bot] 12 hours ago
Zigbee or Thread does this. Example (now that I use this one): us.aqara.com/products/led-bulb-t2-gu10
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 11 hours ago
Imagine having both
ZigBee baybeee. Fully local, offline, forever. Nobody can stop them working.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Yeah, I bet those grapes are sour af and require account to actually eat
SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 10 hours ago
I don’t mind a daylight bid for overhead lights, but they have to be supplemented with warmer lights elsewhere around the room
SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 12 hours ago
just get lights that are adjustable via open source smarthome solutions
