I swear, they like to live in a news studio-level brightness. Its all overhead lighting and bright, cool light at night

Absolute sensory hell for me.

Straw poll: which looks better?

Theyre both too brightly lit imo but the warm is definitey nicer. I want to escape any room place lit like the right

Tap for spoiler

Now, imagine its like the cool white, but its even brighter and o’erhead💀

Skeleton’s be cool white…

    all of these answers are fine. but they are all wrong.

    older people have been buying lightbulbs for many years and all they had to know was the brightness that they wanted. now that led has fully arrived, there are color temp questions to be answered that were not asked before. older people do not know the answer to this question and just buy for brightness.

    also, my mom swears that she likes and can see better with ugly ass 6000k lights everywhere and i feel like im at the grocery store when i go to my parents’ house.

      This right here, for some older people, the “warm” light is not bright enough to see correctly. I still prefer to have almost no light at 50 but neither of my parents could cope with it as they would be effectively blind, I can still make stuff out.

          Dim cool is easier to read with than bright warm, for aging folks, due to contrast difference.
