This is subjective. My wife and I had 3000k pots in our last house and found the light cold. We prefer the warm relaxing yellow of 2700k. We now have it everywhere.darkesha wrote: ↑ I find 2700k being way too much yellow. I went to a friend's place who has some smart LET potlights where he can change temperature between 2700k - 6500k and we both agree 3500k is by far the best temperature. Enough warmth to let you know it's night, and enough white to be bright. The yellow cast typically asks for more lumens in order for our eyes to strain less.
When I did my potlights project I was able to find 3000k but I wish I was able to find 3500.
I'm with you. I much prefer 2700. Even 3000 is harsh. 2700 is very close to incandescent.MooseOnLoose wrote: ↑ This is subjective. My wife and I had 3000k pots in our last house and found the light cold. We prefer the warm relaxing yellow of 2700k. We now have it everywhere.
I actually informally investigated this (I find 2700K ideal) with some colleagues and my truly unscientifically produced theory was there is the a cultural element.
i get the aspect of liking better what you grew up with (ie did you grow up with CFL's or incandescents) but the affluence factor I'm not understanding!
