(bluer lights are good for workspaces but this meme is more about living areas)

Naw naw naw. Blue temp lights for the morning that slowly change to warm tone lights around sunset.
The 10,000K is a bit much tho
yea, a daylight white in the kitchen, and in your hobby rooms,
A warm white in your living room and bedrooms.
agreed 100%. The meme is set in the context of a living area
Ideally, I want the bedroom light to be tied to my alarm clock and slowly increase in brightness towards 8,000K over 15 min before my alarm goes off and stay like that until, say, 4ish, depending on the time of year.
But generally, yeah, cooler Temps are nice for areas you’re working and getting things done. And I think the “plain” daylight color in the kitchen is nicer for food prep in general.
yea, that would be ideal!
I do lighting design as a part of my job. I met a vendor marketing a 40,000K fixture at an event I went to a few weeks ago.
That was not a typo. Forty Thousand
was the light pure blue
lol “can we get tanning bed lights as our fixtures”
Hey that sounds insane. Do you know what the intended application was?
Also, if I can pick your brain a bit, off the top of your head can you suggest an out of the box system for controlling light temperature that doesn’t require IOT apps or something? Ideally set on a timer, but manual is fine too.
It was some kind of imitation skylight that claims to make it look like direct sunlight was shining through. Their 3d animation looked up at the light and it looked like the actual sky with the sun in the middle.
As for controllable CCT fixtures, everything I know of is going to be either an IoT app or controlled by a switch on the fixture itself (meaning the fixture would need to be uninstalled, switched, and reinstalled)
40.000K has it’s intensity maximum at about 70nm wavelength, that’s X-rays. Enjoy that cancer blast
In the context of commercial lighting fixtures, color temperature refers to the visible portion of the black body curve
My parents have one room with harsh lighting, and the moment I turn it on it makes me want to leave the room ASAP.
my parents think warm white lights are bad for the eyes 💀
Oof I feel like cold lights trigger my migraines. I know the harsh bluish lights supposedly simulate sunlight, but to me they hit completely different. I love the sun, but indoor lights with blue just stress me out.
I generally prefer warm white lights as well, however cold white has it’s uses.
In our workshop where I often do electronics stuff cold white light is important as you don’t wanna mess up colors when for example reading color-coded resistors.
Rgb bulbs ftw. Warm white light when I need to be normal. Then pink and purple when I can be me.
With Wiz bulbs,
- wake up mode when I wake up for work before sunrise, (starts dwith dim blue light that grafually brightens over 30 minutes),
- 3600k during normal daylight hours,
- then either fireplace (rotating red, orange, yellow)
- or sunset mode (yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple) after, well, sunset
👌🏼
I wish the color change modes on Wiz lights were able to go faster. I want to turn my room into a rainbow disco strobe rave.
RGBWW or bust
