There're 2 choices of the lights, one is 4 inch , one is 6inch.
If there is a room around 100sf - 150sf , you will need 4inch x 4.
If you prefer brighter, you may select 6inch x 4 ( really bright as it suitable for a family gather at living room).
if you are using 6inch light, you may choose to only switch on 2 lights at one time to save electric bill.
Note: The estimation above are for 9ft wall smile.gif
4000K(a.k.a cool white) is a bit yellowish, but it depends on your wall color and ceiling color.
The more yellowish your wall, the more yellowish the light is.
If your wall is white, you wont feel too much difference with white color.

I don't suggest you take 6000K as the light is too bright, everything will become grey+blue color instead of showing the actual item color. For example, your wall is white color, but the light will cause it looks like kinda grey+blue, the color became not really natural.

Another NSB user.
Adding on, lumens claimed for NSB is 100lumen/w, something in that vicinity. 4" is 12W, and 6" is 18W. No idea on the claimed lumens as I don't have a lumen meter, but rated wattage is more or less accurate after testing.

Seconded about 6000K, you don't want to be using that color temperature in places other than where you'll be doing work or makeup etc. as it can be harsh on the eyes. Your home might end up looking like a lab lol.

4000k light can read newspaper or not?

Yep. Shouldn't be a problem. It's like natural light.
6000k above is for when you need things to be really precise, like cooking or washing things. Every imperfection seems to turn up under those lights, they don't hide anything due to their spectrum. Of course it'll be good for reading newspaper too since "more accurate", but balance between eye strain and accuracy.

6000k is so clinical. It's like staying in a hospital. How can anyone stand it for long periods of time?

Malaysian mentality, never bother to do proper research. If it looks decent on the spot, just buy. No need to think so much. biggrin.gif
