there's lots of theories on this, to the point of having "blue light glasses". however, mine is much more caveman like. during the day, the sun is up. at night, it is not, so it is dark and cold. man made fire. fire is good. fire is warm. light from fire is orange. man evolve using warm light at night. industry brings us blue light at night. blue light strange. makes things look harsh, unpleasant. caveman pushes button on magic rock that makes light back to warm color. caveman happy again.

  I don't know what's going where I live but so many houses and temples use this horrible, ultra-bright, sterile blue/white lights with no diffusers. Many have pure white concrete walls as well so it's just like looking into a hospital or something. You'll be walking down a quiet alley and then BOOM witness our unfiltered arc-weld! It's gotten to the point to where when I visit someone and they have a warm-colored light I compliment them on the fact. It's so rare.

    To each their own. Maybe I should start criticizing people for having warm colored light that remind me of kerosene lamps. Have you entertained the remote possibility that more people prefer a different color than you do?

      Maybe they chose that color. Maybe they didn’t know any better. Maybe they bought them from Amazon, but the listing was a switcheroo. Who really knows. But if they’re using “bright” white at night it’s just flat out rude. It’s unnatural, it’s unholy, it’s just wrong

    One friend nicknamed me The Illuminazi due to my continued war against cool white lights used at night in homes. In the later evening in our house we switch to all lamp-only lighting, as I find over head lights offensive in at least some time period immediately prior to going to bed.

Once upon a time, I had daylight color lights in my bedroom. My then GF was somewhat unhappy with that choice after a while, especially since it was winter when she moved in with me, and so outside was extra white. Since then we now mostly use warmer white bulbs excepting certain locations like the garage and laundry room.
