What temp lighting do you have in your house.
I got so sick of the ugly yellow lighting of the florescent's in the house. When I switched over to LED I went to daylight K5000. I can see things much more clearly now although the temp took some getting used to. What is everyone else that is switching to LED using?

When LED bulbs went on subsidy I changed all the incandescents to 5000k daylights. Everything is a more natural colour. When I was running a large aquarium, the daylight spectrum looked much better and I got used to it.

I put 3500K in my kitchen as the 5000k seemed too white.

3000k is recommended for LED interior lighting. It's a softer light without being too harsh.
Most early LED was 5000k. 2700 to 3500k is readily available now. |

LED Lighting
Over the past year I have switched over most of our lighting to LED's, taking advantage of the subsidies and various retail sales.
For most of the house I installed the more pleasing (to most) 'Warm-White' (3000/3500K) LED's. For my workbench room, garage, and our office area, I went with 'Daylight' (5000K) LED's. Selkirk |

Mostly 3500k at our place.
We've got 5000's in the laundry room and garage. There's some 5000's in the kitchen over the work area. I use a 5000 for a reading light. IMO, the 5000k bulbs have a very stark, white light but they work well in certain situations. |
3500k in all areas but workspace in the basement. 5000k there.

Thomas Edison would not be pleased with you ! ;-)

I like the Daylight also.

For thousands of years we have been conditioned to warm/yellow light when inside (fireplace/candles/incandescent ... @ 2000-3000K). It's no wonder many of us still prefer that colour of light for informal/in-house lighting. The next time I buy an LED bulb, I'm going to look for a bulb that emits pure/natural white light (~4000K) and see how that works. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...ght-colors.jpg Selkirk |
