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.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice π.

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.
Any examples of bulbs?
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.
