I like warm white too, I especially like the colour from an incandescent lamp    However at this time of the year, I suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and that means I need to sit under a 6500K daylight lamp for a while once or twice a day

My preferences depends on the application. For interior residential, I prefer 2700K, or 3000K CCT, except in the kitchen where 5000K CCT @ 90 CRI is preferred. For residential exterior, I like 4100K CCT CFL for the low glare and visual clarity it gives. On roadways, I like 3000K CCT LED, or 2100K CCT HPS.

We have recently moved a clip on spot light to give us illumination into a wardrobe, and for the first time in years it has the correct lamp fitted. I had forgotten how nice the light from a tungsten filament reflector spot actually is.

There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Quote from: Jovan on November 16, 2019, 12:50:03 PM Does it help you ? To a certain extent, yes. Not as good as getting out in the daylight, but we don't get an awful lot of that up here at this time of the year

Quote from: Jovan on November 16, 2019, 12:51:49 PM For street lighting I would put HPS lamps instead of 6500K LED.HPS lamps are warmer and have less glare than LEDs in my town streets. Putting up lights that are 6500K seriously affects the diurnal rhythm of humans disrupting their sleep patterns, and animals especially in rural areas as they become confused as to the time of day.
