Why are the warm ones framed as “genders” in this? I can see why people might think those who like Cool white would be mentally ill but not what makes the warm white ones ‘gender’.
The ceiling light in my bedroom has 2x 2,600 and 2x 4,000 bulbs that I can switch between (or I can turn on all four at once, but I never do that), and I kinda like the 4k bulbs better to the point where I rarely use the 2.6k ones. Even at night, I prefer them because they feel a bit brighter and not so “heavy,” but I don’t know why that is. But I’m not slippery-sloping to mental illness (I’m already there uwu).
I generally prefer warm white lights as well, however cold white has it’s uses.
In our workshop where I often do electronics stuff cold white light is important as you don’t wanna mess up colors when for example reading color-coded resistors.
Oof I feel like cold lights trigger my migraines. I know the harsh bluish lights supposedly simulate sunlight, but to me they hit completely different. I love the sun, but indoor lights with blue just stress me out.
Ideally, I want the bedroom light to be tied to my alarm clock and slowly increase in brightness towards 8,000K over 15 min before my alarm goes off and stay like that until, say, 4ish, depending on the time of year.
But generally, yeah, cooler Temps are nice for areas you’re working and getting things done. And I think the “plain” daylight color in the kitchen is nicer for food prep in general.
Hey that sounds insane. Do you know what the intended application was?
Also, if I can pick your brain a bit, off the top of your head can you suggest an out of the box system for controlling light temperature that doesn’t require IOT apps or something? Ideally set on a timer, but manual is fine too.
It was some kind of imitation skylight that claims to make it look like direct sunlight was shining through. Their 3d animation looked up at the light and it looked like the actual sky with the sun in the middle.
As for controllable CCT fixtures, everything I know of is going to be either an IoT app or controlled by a switch on the fixture itself (meaning the fixture would need to be uninstalled, switched, and reinstalled)
