4000k will be better. 3000k will be too yellow for living room, for bedroom still acceptable
Also take note 3000k wont be as bright as 4000k even with the same lumen figures
Muji Theme Home - 3000k or 4000k lighting?

It's kinda hard to find a CRI above 85. Most bulbs are rates CRI 80 only.  This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Aug 31 2022, 03:26 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. So far I'm considering Yeelight and Philips Wiz. 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 |

QUOTE(Created On 21/1/2021 @ Sep 13 2022, 06:11 PM) 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. Your ID trying to BS you into getting their lights, more commission for them perhaps. Lighting wiring (live, ground and neutral) should be standard unlike plug point. 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? Most likely the unknown OEM brand is from China / Made in China also  But this is my experience, i got no issues with lights from China (in terms of compatibility). Maybe others will have different opinion This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Sep 13 2022, 06:49 PM |

To ts.... if you havent committed anything (eg deposit) to the ID yet, suggest you look for another ID or contractor
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 This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Sep 14 2022, 03:29 PM |
