I had some that look like the first link. I got them from maxximastyle, but going on two years no problems. 4000k is a nice pure white and I like that. I don’t like the blue hue and think soft white looks old

Quote HistoryQuoted: 5K daylight for my office and workshop. 2.7K for living areas Boom, shop lights are better as the bright white/blue, living areas need to be soft and comfortable lighting. ETA, security lights are 4500k, normal house lights are 2700k as well. I don't need to be sitting on the deck at night thinking it's day time |

2700K, the way Edison (asshole that he was) intended.
Maybe 3000K for bathrooms and the kitchen. ETA: Quoted: Which choice is warm white? Warm white is usually 2700-3000K and cool white is usually 3500-4500K. Which drives my OCD a little nuts because 4500K is warmer than 2700K, but it is what it is.   |

For just casual lighting, 2700-3000k. It's easy on the eyes, mimics incandescent fairly well, and just looks "normal". For a shop, work bench, I may go a bit higher, maybe 4000k, but no higher. I don't even like headlights higher than 4300k.

Is there that much difference between 2700 and 3000? I'm deciding between those I think.
I'm surprised some voted 5000, that seems too intense for living room or bedroom. |

2700 indoors in the living areas, I don't like harsh bright blue hues inside.
I could do 3000 in my bedroom because the only time that light is on is if I'm looking for something, so ambiance isn't really a thing (I tried a daylight bulb in my bedroom once, it lasted about 30 seconds before I said 'fuck this'). 5K in my garage. |

As white as possible in working areas, as orange as possible for sleeping areas and ambiance lighting, in between for general living spaces.

Living room or BR, go warmer. 3K and under.
For a work station during the day or kitchen, go 3500-4000. The blue in the light isn't good for trying to sleep after exposure. When the light starts tipping to blue, my eyes don't play well anyway. |

Big windows and a couple of solar tubes.
I changed all the lights in my house to daylight bulbs so the light colors wouldn't compete. |

I have never seen 3000K. It should be close enough to 2700K (soft white) that many may not see a difference. |

Cool white approx 4000. Anything below 3500 looks yellow, the opposite of modern.

I like Daylight with a High CRI
The reason I get 5500k bulbs is for colors being vibrant and easy to see, showing the same as if they were out in daylight. The Warm Whites are nostalgic toward the filament bulbs or sunsets, and most suck for CRI. Most now have both ratings printed on the box. I'll pick a 4000k bulb with a higher CRI than a low CRI 5500k bulb.
