There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

I swear, they like to live in a news studio-level brightness. Its all overhead lighting and bright, cool light at night

Absolute sensory hell for me.

Straw poll: which looks better?

Theyre both too brightly lit imo but the warm is definitey nicer. I want to escape any room place lit like the right

Tap for spoilerNow, imagine its like the cool white, but its even brighter and o'erhead💀

Skeleton's be cool white...

THANK YOU. Always think this! Shadows are not a bad thing, it's okay to have darker corners! It's not only the brightness either. For everyone saying "we need it brighter", I have both neighbors and elderly family who use single fluorescent lights to putter around their homes. They have VERY dark homes, just one giant harsh spotlight that shows their one area and then surrounded by dark all around their house.

We have several lamps and warm lights scattered through the house, it's very bright but also never feels like you're in an office or a garage. A simple warm light in the corner can make it feel brighter without needing hundreds of lumens from directly above.

You think you want daylight. You don't. You want warm more natural lighting.
