What colour light bulbs do you use at home?

[LuchaBear]

Are you sticking with warm white (classic yellowish) in your living room or have you moved on? Many people seem to still prefer it this way and might instead use the whiter lights in kitchens and bathrooms. The big complaint about the whiter light is that it makes your place look more like a hospital or dentist office.

My mum always insisted on red lighting when I was a kid.

She was onto something because we would get several visitors everyday.

Depends whether I am vegging or flowering.

UV lights all over the house.... watching out for those Rona germs!

The ones I buy in the local store which are, I guess, best described as "neutral white". I'm not very advanced when it comes to coloured light bulbs.

My light bulbs speak to who I am as a person... extra warm white.

But seriously, I was looking a picking up daylight LED bulbs. My office plants are suffering. I don't think they get enough light. Anyone grow plants under LED bulbs?

6500k or higher if I can find it. 10k is where it’s at for me. Bright white just on the edge of turning blue.

I got into being picky about color temperature when I was big into the aquarium hobby.
You’d be amazed at how much color temperature can change the way things look.

Natural white daylight. I hate the yellow tint light.
