(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.
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!
agreed 100%. The meme is set in the context of a living area
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
The ceiling light in my bedroom has 2x 2,600 and 2x 4,000 bulbs that I can switch between (or I can turn on all four at once, but I never do that), and I kinda like the 4k bulbs better to the point where I rarely use the 2.6k ones. Even at night, I prefer them because they feel a bit brighter and not so "heavy," but I don't know why that is. But I'm not slippery-sloping to mental illness (I'm already there uwu).
Why are the warm ones framed as "genders" in this? I can see why people might think those who like Cool white would be mentally ill but not what makes the warm white ones 'gender'.
