2700K has always made me vaguely uncomfortable. It's just gloomy to me, I don't know how to explain it. 4000K is what I prefer. 6500K is disorienting for room lighting, but has some utility in other applications.

You're supposed to shut off the lights when you sleep, idiot.
>>
>>106617845
Although there's a thousand interior design blogs saying not to mix colors, the true answer is both.

Overhead room lights should be 4000-5000k and are meant to be turned on during active times such as when cooking or working.

Desk, table, and floor lamps should be 2700k and are meant to be turned on during downtime, such as watching movies, or reading books or playing games in the evening.

LED lights are soulless goy slop. The reason is they give off only fixed wave length light. Whereas, globes like edison globes are full spectrum and the fact that the filament is glowing produces an organic kind of light. Such light is much more like the flickering of a fire or the shifting of sun light through clouds. Nothing in nature is perfect. LEDs perfection mark it as the work of typical, soulless tech, for mass adoption. Heart removed by design. Bottom line preserved, the tech is ready now for the goys.

I’m not a HomeKit and smart home guy but I’m tempted to be one because you can have LEDs that change based on what you want at the time
At any rate I prefer 2700K generally because I have trouble going to sleep at night but I do 3000K or 4000K in the kitchen because I do color-sensitive work there (trying to tell if something is brown enough to take out of the oven for good)
>>

In third world parts of Asia having warm colored lighting means you're too poor for LED when the change first started to happen. And since bug people are so easily influenced by dumb shit like that, no one uses anything but sterile white leds.

Lightbulb thread. Does anyone have any really autistic recommendations for lights to buy? I'm looking to consooom and waste a bunch of money on overly fancy lightbulbs because my tism tells me to.
>as close to emulating full spectrum as possible, for the most natural colours
>ideally high maximum brightness, so I can make my room actually feel bright during the winter (obviously won't come close to emulating the brightness sunlight but still, brighter is better)
>dimmable and ideally with adjustable temperature (though I could just settle for a different bulb for the evenings), over zigbee so I can homeassistant it without botnet

I remember finding a website ones that rated lights really autistically and had found like a "best light" for all this stuff but now i can't find it anymore. Anybody else have any autistic resources on this so I can try to find my perfect lightbulb?

Even 2700K is too high for the low brightness I like to illuminate my living room with. 2200K would be better. The lower the brightness the redder the light should be, like a fire going from roaring white hot flames to smoldering red coals.
I want to try those philips warmglow dimmable LED bulbs that gradually lower the color temperature the more you dim them.

Interesting, thanks anon. Man that is a lot of money for a lightbulb though.
I also found a couple of others which claim to have very similar spectrums and seem to have gotten similar measurements from reviewers too (I looked at https://optimizeyourbiology.com/light-bulb-database for example) and are much cheaper.

But all of these are not adjustable which is a bit gay, I was really hoping to find one bulb I can fit and just adjust from day to evening reeeee.

>>106623063
Hue actually doesn't look half bad from measurements, among the better of the smart bulbs I can see reviews of, and quite good maximum brightness too. But "among the better of the smart bulbs" still seems to put it quite a bit below the best full-spectrum non-smart bulbs that I can see (like Yuji or apparently Sunsy and shit like that).

4000k because it looks white (neutral) to me.
Not 2700K because it looks yellow.
Just like in OP's pic: yellow , blue, white.
I don't understand why soft white is so popular, guess people don't perceive the yellow as much as I do.
All my bulbs at home daylight.
>>
Err, yellow, white, blue
>>
>>106623927
Soft white has always looked yellow to me and that's why I like it.
>>
>>106623883
I see it too and I think it's probably either because indoor lighting tends to skew slightly yellow so a pure sunlight-coloured lightbulb feels blue compared to what we're used to, and/or because LED lights are usually not full spectrum but rather have big blue spikes so maybe perceptively I wouldn't be surprised if they felt bluer than actual natural sunlight does.
>>106623927
>All my bulbs at home daylight.
Daylight is 6500k, are your bulbs daylight or 4000k?

Personally I hate the idea of sunlight bulbs, it just looks so wrong to have indoors. It's orders of magnitude dimmer than the sun, the shadows are completely not at all like sunlight, it's very obviously fake, so it should be slightly yellow-ish because that's what I'm used to. Hence the hospital or interrogation room feel if you slap sunlight temperature on an indoor lighbulb.

>>
>>106623969
>daylight depends on the brand
Amazing

That said I looked it up and I was wrong, daylight isn't 6500k, it's around 5800k or maybe slightly yellower (it's not super clear from the graph, maybe 5600k or so, given the significant attenuation in the infrared from the atmosphere).
>>
>>106624004
That's one of the alternatives to Yuji I found yeah, vastly cheaper. Though I'm not in the US which is gay. Also STILL not dimmable.
I also found blockbluelight.com which actually has a dimmable full spectrum bulb (and is available here) but I cannot find much in terms of reviews about it.

Imagine not running smart bulbs in a local home assistant setup in [current year]. Just click a button and switch between the modes.

4000k for the majority of my home
6500k for my office (It keeps me alert).
2700k has always annoyed me. It's too fucking yellow. I especially hate it when its paired with beige walls or dark stained wood. It's fucking gross.

do you know any that dont require internet? a local home store was closing down so i grabbed some for cheap but the bulb connects to my wifi then to a server and my phone controls the bulb via that server instead of just controlling the bulb directly its peak botnet
>>
>>106633003
>do you know any that dont require internet?
NTA, but get zigbee smart bulbs (ikea bulbs support zigbee too).
Then you need a gateway, which is where the botnet comes in, because the gateway is the only part that speaks with the internet or wifi.
But you can just get a zigbee bridge for homeassistant (a USB dongle basically with an antenna) and then run it on your own homeassistant where you have full control of your data.

Interesting. Yeah his database is where I found the bulb but I hadn't noticed for some reason it was also in his recommendations list.
I guess it's either this or yuji for me in europe right now.

2700. Simply as. Anyone who says white light belongs in a house is almost certainly an autistic virgin.

i think its a myth desu i used to sit in the dark all the time and stopped because i heard its worse for your eyes but my glasses prescription changes like the same every time i need new glasses

this looks good suck its not autoamtic thoguh the way this works is stupid because if you wake up in the middle of the night it will be the wrong temp when you turn it on who wants to stand there flicking a light bulb switch multiple times a day lol blockbluelight.co.uk/collections/sleep-enhancing-lighting/products/full-spectrum-light-bulb

I fell for this meme. 6500K is just plain better. No one really notices the blue. It’s just edited photos.
Now my room is in weird orange. Fuck the internet seriously.

A benefit of the hue to me is you know the app will still have support in a decade. All these random brands pop up and disappear. Lots of control options for the hue. Kind of an investment up front but the bulbs last 8-10 years. I have just one 100w bulb full color, because I spend almost all my time in one room in my house. Plan to slowly replace other lamps and maybe my white spectrum led strip at some point. I work night shift so I need very bright light to simulate day when I'm off work. Don't use it with bluetooth though, get the bridge
>>
>>106632885
Yeah but probably not as expensive or cool looking. It's just a light wood plank ceiling and the strips are embedded into the grooves with diffusers.
The effect is more subtle too, because it just looks like the light just exists in the room, since the depth of the grooves, you can't see them from an angle, only a few when you stand straight under them and since the ceiling isn't very high, you won't notice even that unless you actually look straight up. I like it.
>>
>>106633585
>the app
Do they actually have a local remote control app? I thought it was cloudshit which you need to rip out first thing after buying the bulbs like everything else.
>All these random brands pop up and disappear.
Most of them either work with HA or whatever, or they don't. If they work then nothing will happen, they'll continue to work for a decade too.

Looking at the database I linked in my post, IMO if you're using artifical light for staying awake all night long, you really should invest into some actual quality lighting. If I were you I'd say even springing for yuji would be justifiable given how important your lights are for you. If your lightbulbs have an even slightly mediocre spectrum, you're basically looking at washed out colours 24/7 since you're not going out at all in real sunlight.

You know what, I have a wood plank roof, I might seriously consider this. Though I'm not sure if the grooves are big enough. A fully lit up ceiling sounds neat though, my bedroom is kinda small-ish and the ceiling is not super high so a lightbulb hanging off of it doesn't illuminate the edges and corners very well especially around furniture.

What strips are you using?
>>
>>106624350
No because filament doesn't instantaneously cool down between peaks
>>
>>106633671
>the ceiling is not super high so a lightbulb hanging off of it doesn't illuminate the edges and corners very well especially around furniture.
Same and you basically won't have any shadows or dark spots either.

>What strips are you using?
Can't remember what LED strips exactly, did that in like 2016, like a warm strips, cold strips and also got a some full spectrum "daylight" strips which were much more expensive, I just laid them out in the grooves from one wall to the other in cold, warm, cold, warm, full spectrum - repeat and connected each of the different temperatures to it's own dimmer.

I'd have all 2700 K in my house but compromised with my wife for 2700 in bedrooms, 6500 K in the kitchen, and both in the living room so we change to the 2700 K set after 7PM
Pic is too exaggerated though they are not that extreme yellow/blue
Also if you care for circadian rhythm you should use cold lights during the day for the same reason as the hot ones at night right? Caveman would feel good outside hunting under the summer sun. People do get depressed in the winter for having less sunlight.

>People do get depressed in the winter for having less sunlight.
isnt that from low vitamin d though do these lights effect vitamin d
>>
>>106633755
Sounds extremely based, I'll have to try it out though because the grooves are really quite small so I might not even be able to fit in the strips recessed at all. Are you able to shove a diffuser actually between the planks?
>>
>>106633910
Maybe, maybe not
People get depressed if they live in concrete commie blocks
People get depressed if they see no trees outside
Etc.
Maybe the lights have something to do with it also. Caveman brain.

2700K for bedroom.
6500K for bathroom.
Simple as.

Yeah probably best not to be blasted with UV of various chinesium wavelengths
I would want a calibrated spectrometer before living in such environment
>>
>>106636785
Can't be any worse than 365nm which is the main wavelength for blacklights.
If using LED it's more likely 395nm, as 365nm LEDs are quite hard to find and expensive.
>>
>>106623104
Actual UV light is harmful.
>>
>>106625840
5000k and 15000k look cool af
>>
>>106638192
Kelvin temperature scale maxes out below 15000K doesn't it though?
>>
I just have ketra installed since i'm not a poorfag, and so the lighting is right for whatever time of day it should be
>>
Anything other than 2700k and you're a brown nigger 3rd worlder
>>
>>106622930
Just install a massive chandelier that can hold like 20 incandescents and watch the fire burn

I live in a tiny condo where the kitchen window faces the front door and other units. There is no curtain/cover, I use 6500K lights, and I walk around my unit shirtless. No one fucks with me.
>>
>>106617845
Smart bulbs
I use 2700K during daytime and 2200K at 10PM-8AM at varying brightness. Sometimes I use 6500K at 9AM-5PM for productivity (using outdoor color temp feels more consistent and energetic) but it gets kind of depressing after a while.
I also have a remote that I've set up to change between presets for different things.

My understanding is that it's only harmful if it's directly next to you for a long period of time every single day. If you just put an overhead UV lightbulb on for 3 or 4 hours at night it's not particularly harmful. If it was really so dangerous then laser tag would be illegal because they use UV everywhere. The wikipedia article on blacklight says "there is little evidence that blacklight products with wavelengths above 350 nanometres and designed for domestic uses and intensities have any adverse health effects. "

if you don't use warm lights, why do you even have lights?
anything neutral is only for working with color and print.
>>
>>106633658
I'm staring at a screen anyways though, I don't really care if the shade of my bedding is correct. Is there something I'm missing? Why would I care about color balance of my room being off.
>>
>>106643673
Because you're spending your entire life perceiving the world wrong, does that not bother you?
>>
>>106617845
Always warm light.

2700K for mood lighting you intend to have on at night or in the evening, 4000K for primary lighting when you actually need a room to be fully and brightly lit.
>>
>>106618826
over 9000K
>>
>>106617845
4000K for overhead lights and 2700K for lamps. Use the lamps for regular ambient lighting usage and use the overhead for when you need better visibility.
>>
>>106617845
both 2700k and 4000k on (separate switches) for kitchen, office/workshop, bathroom
just 2700k everywhere else
