I wish we could regulate the CRI and color temp of LEDs sold for headlights. I've had a few dangerous situations at night because of some idiot with poorly aimed, blue-white LEDs. I thought it was well known that lower color temps reflect less off moisture and perform better as headlights? I worry we may be causing eye issues by blasting people with intense blue light when their eyes are adjusted for darkness.
- tsjq 8y agoah man! so much of this problem in my country too. these clowns fit the blue-white headlight bulbs purely for style / fashion !
- dzhiurgis 8y agoNot related with car headlights, but related to temperature: 3 days ago I learned prefer blue light in some of the rooms in house. Apparently yellow is sheepish, blue is good for reading. My theory was: southerners prefer blue, people with little sun exposure - yellow. Have you noticed anything similar before?
- 01100011 8y agoI dunno... I think I used to prefer 2700k at home and now I'm settling on 3300k, although sometimes even that seems frustratingly yellow now. I'm getting older and presbyopia is really setting in now. I'm from CA(formerly southern, now the bay area).
- waste_monk 8y agoI go with Warm lights for relaxing spaces e.g. bedroom, bathroom, living room, and Cool lights for workspaces e.g. the shed, kitchen, laundry... It feels "right" to me having a lighting distinction between the types of spaces.
