Buy a cheap lux meter if you will be doing this since otherwise you are flying blind.
- astrange 2y agoThis definitely helps for me, but it's hard to place the lights without glare, since they can't be anywhere that's ever directly in your vision! I'm also a little worried it's going to burn the houseplant near it. But it was a big change; my Silicon Valley apartment has little overhead lighting, and I mostly use Hue lights which just don't get very bright, so it turned out I'd accidentally built a depression cave in the winter.
- dylan604 2y agoPersonally, I hate overhead lighting and much prefer lamps or wall sconce type of lighting. I did replace my overhead bulbs with Hue bulbs, but I don't feel the not very bright aspect. My overhead bulbs are most often at 25%. Anything over 50% is just too much for me. I love my Hue lights and am trying to switch over to all Hue bulbs. I still have a few regular bulbs in places that just don't get a lot of use, so they get ignored
- J_Shelby_J 2y agoThe 1600 lumen bulbs are worth it - if they fit your fixtures. Still nowhere near as bright as a window on a cloudy day though.
- astrange 2y agoPart of my problem is my place has a lot of windows and is on the ground floor. So those are both good things, but the combination means I have to keep the curtains closed to maintain any privacy. Lighter curtains or something might help.
