I need opinions on which colour temperature I should install for my living room and bed room.
My wall is vanilla white and my furniture and flooring is all natural wood colour, I'm afraid that if I install 3000k lighting, it makes the room looks too yellowish. If I install 4000k, I'm afraid it takes away the welcoming and cozy feel. |

QUOTE(matsheikh @ Aug 31 2022, 01:29 AM) Go with 3000k as it will make you feels more relax. but make sure you pick the COB or LED with good CRI >85 and high lumen value >700. I didn't know about CRI until you mentioned it. No wonder my cheap Mr DIY lighting makes my art poster look like shit. It's kinda hard to find a CRI above 85. Most bulbs are rates CRI 80 only.

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Aug 31 2022, 03:26 PM) for general lighting best you go with 4000k, then you can have some seperate decorative / mood lighting (eg: eyeball spotlights, LED strips) that uses 3000k QUOTE(Alvan86 @ Aug 31 2022, 08:33 PM) I would suggest you to go for 4000K. Still feel warm and cosy yet not too dark. But its really depends on you. Please take note that quality of lighting such as Lm, CRI, flickering, beam angle etc are important too. Depends on your applications. I pay alittle bit more for quality lighting for my new house and the outcome is really making a difference F**k it. I'm gonna go with tunable smart light instead.So far I'm considering Yeelight and Philips Wiz. |

QUOTE(stormer.lyn @ Sep 6 2022, 08:59 PM) I'm pretty happy with my Yeelights. I definitely like the tunable colour, dimming ability, and scheduling. What's not to like? Oh... price Yeah, I need at least 6 pieces, that's gonna cost a bomb. Not to mention how long it's gonna last. |

Oh... price QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Sep 7 2022, 12:57 PM) You have to be really sure you gonna make use of the tunable function frequently, otherwise its gonna be a waste of money as usually once you find your desired settings, its gonna remain there. I decided to buy my lighting from Taobao, buy my ID is against it because he said it might have compatible issue with our electrical wire.Cheaper alternative would be to go with normal downlights for your ceiling, then install a single/double bulb pendant somewhere in the corner, or get a standing light so you can use smart bulbs, that will also change up the atmosphere a bit https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d...id=656566344241 The reason I want to buy from Taobao because it's has more choices and higher quality(CRI<90). Meanwhile the ID company has 2 choices, which is Philips and some unknown OEM brand. I have very limited knowledge in electrical, What should I look for to make sure the lights is compatible with our wiring? This post has been edited by Created On 21/1/2021: Sep 13 2022, 06:15 PM |

QUOTE(stormer.lyn @ Sep 14 2022, 03:13 PM) Beware of the ID that is trying to con you, or is such a low class that does not know enough to advise you about lighting. As long as the lights are rated at 220 V - 240 V, you are fine. (The lights may even be worldwide compatible rated 110 V - 240 V, you can get this also) QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Sep 14 2022, 03:28 PM) To ts.... if you havent committed anything (eg deposit) to the ID yet, suggest you look for another ID or contractor Noted. Thanks for the clarification.Since they already made that statement, if you insist on using your own lights and anything wrong happen during installation, most likely they will push the responsibility away Already crossed off that ID on my list. |
