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 spoiler
Now, imagine its like the cool white, but its even brighter and o'erhead๐
Skeleton's be cool white...
Yeah, fluorescent is good at filling up space with light. It's the tube factor. It emits the light better overall (even compact fluorescent screw ins are a little better than incandescent because the actual light emitting part is at the surface kinda).
It's actually really good in a space where you need even lighting rather than good lighting. Works spaces, like in a shop or kitchen, you want less shadows and more coverage, even if it's in that wonky blue that fluorescents have. If you're stuck with a single overhead, fluorescent is just better than incandescent, and can have advantages over LED or halogen. Sure, you'd want to supplement with a surface based directional source, but that's way easier than trying to light with lamps only
I wish such light could be a bit less agressive tho, like even if it could be shaded slightly pink or rose-goldey, that would be a bit nicer even for those spaces that need to be well-lit
Like soft pink
