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'erheadπŸ’€

Skeleton's be cool white...

Kitchen/utility/work spaces -> bright cool light

Living room/relaxation spaces -> warm light

Mixed use -> bright cool ceiling light with standing warm light lamps.

Generally speaking...

In utilitarian areas, warm/cold light is less important than light with a high color rendering index.

When I got my first flashlight with a high CRI light source, I was amazed at how much of a difference it made, it makes everything far more visible.

Not really, I just look for markings on the box when buying them.

They tend to be marked with either HI CRI or HIGH CRI.
