There are ones that are adjustable. I don't have to choose one or the other.

I love my warm bulbs!

...wait...

There's a solution here you're not seeing... RGB lights. Setting the hue on the fly to match what I need has been pretty neat. Pure white for work, natural white for relaxing, red only for venting in the summer since insects can't see it, green and blue strobe for dance nights, the only limit is your imagination. Living in the future has at least a few perks to go with all the downsides.

I want my home to have full range color equivalent to open windows. But I prefer my lights to change color with the sun so as not to mess with my circadian rhythm. Incandescent color bulbs just remind me of being a kid visiting the elderly. I'm mostly a "open the blinds instead of turning on a light" purist during the day.

Also, emberlight for bedtime, and simulated sunrise as an alarm. Though my wife hates both of those as I have to wake up earlier than her.

As someone with shit vision, I also want my house lit up like a hospital.

We don't know Celsius. How do you expect us to know Kelvin?

Warm light feels so ...indoors... to me, I don't quite know how to put it, but I don't like it. It makes me feel like I'm in a 90s home. White light feels natural and nice.

Warm white 2700-3000k is fine for bedrooms Soft white 3500k is better for awake spaces that aren't task spaces White/Daylight 5000k+ is for getting things done, I use them in the garage, the basement, and for some of the kitchen lights

I used to hate integrated LED fixtures, but I put in under-cabinet lighting that can switch color temp so that is nice because I can set it to daylight during meal prep and warm during eating.

Daylight bulbs only belong in the bathroom. That's the only place I want to see things that bright. Also, if there's anyplace you want to feel sterile and hospital like, wouldn't it be the bathroom?

We accidentally installed a white light bulb in the hallway outside my bedroom. It made me feel so pissed off and on edge every time my door was open and someone turned that light on.

Once we swapped it to a warm bulb I was much more chill.

I do keep a tunable light bulb in a task lamp, but the rest of the lighting in the house is warm.

For the people saying “5kK+ in the office, 3kK- in the bedroom” what do you use in your kitchen? In your bathroom?

Blue lights suck. Yellow lights suck. White lights (6000K full-spectrum) are good, but more expensive and harder to find.

Warm in living room, bedroom, and hallway.

Cold everywhere else. So, bathroom, kitchen, garage, and closet.

Warm where you want cozy. Cold where you want honesty.

3000K or GTFO

Gimme 5k temperature light bulbs

I love my smart lights for this. I can change them at my whim. By default they're brighter and whiter during the day, slowly moving dimmer and yellow after sunset. Or I can make them whatever other color but I do that pretty rarely.

It's also fully offline and no WiFi used. But it seems almost everything you see in the stores are WiFi bulbs you have to get an app for, where one day they might go bankrupt and suddenly your lights dont work. Or the internet goes out. Yuck.

Just buy every K value in an even distribution to get all the benefits
