I had no idea about this 'k' thing. I bought 5,000k bulbs and it shines a harsh white for a living room. Your video clearly shows what I am looking for. On Wednesday, I am going to buy 2700k bulbs. Thank you. ☮
These color preferences are also affected by weather in different parts of the world. Those living in cold icy places overly prefer very warm lights, because it mimics warm sun ,whereas those living in hot sunny humid may prefer slightly cooler colors.
Thank you for this information! My husband and I prefer NOT to get the yellow/warm light bulbs and mistakenly buy them sometimes. But the 4100K or 5000K is perfect.
I have to be honest, I absolutely hate the yellow/orange light in your demo. It also makes my eyes see hazy. I would love to see a demo on regular daylight bulbs and sylvania reduced eye strain daylight led bulbs. I hate the color the soft white led bulbs turn the shades to my fixtures. it makes them look dirty.
Great Video. But Dayloght bulbs are great of you want the colors in your home to pop. For example I'm remodeling my kitchen with white marble backsplash and countertops. The warm white makes the stone (which has hints of gold) look very yellow and dirty looking. The whiter light makes them look beautifully white.
Great point on the warm white. I went a little general on this video. True daylight is different then the 5000K bulbs that I see most often in homes. Finding the right bulb for the area makes a huge difference. I give a hard time at the beginning of this video to daylight and I actually use true daylight bulbs in my home gym.
@@jonasstomberg very Tru as long as the lighting isn't starting to lean over onto the blueish white side then that middle ground will give the best look and feel. Darker colors for me at least make the room feel dingy while the white is more refreshing
Thanks for the lesson. The funny part is I actually prefer the bluer "white" light in areas. I do understand the idea of the yellow light feeling cozy, but not in all cases.
I painted my kitchen a cheery yellow & then put in a 5000K Edison bulb it it was so sickly looking. Ug! Quickly replaced it with a 2700K Edison & it looks normal & cheery colored again.
Generally speaking you want a brighter white light for a bathroom, typically 4000-5000K. The rest of the rooms work well with bright white 3500K. Outside landscape lights work best with soft white between 2700 and 3000K.
@@qwellbeh try a bulb with a higher lumen scale. Also, try 3000K to 4000K at 4000 you may start to notice some blue and I'm finding a lot of people like that as somewhere more neutral.
I would agree you should always go with your personal preference while you're living in the house. This is really based on selling the property and making it appeal to the highest number of people.
Those warm lights make me feel like I am stuck in home. I can barely read books. I move back and forth among US, Korea and Japan and every time I am in the states, having no lights on the ceiling is bugging me. This was great to know. I am going for minimum 4000k
I like: 2700K for outdoors and living room, 2700K for table lamps, 3000K for bedrooms and dining room, 3000-4000K for bathrooms, 4000-5000K for kitchen and garage Feit Electric bulbs are long lasting and they are dimmable
I have 2 5000k 1500 lumen led light bulbs for my bedroom, and I actually love em. I like pure white colored lights and those are the ones for me. I also put 4 3000k 800 lumen led bulbs in my bathroom.
Both the wife and I like the bright looking daylight bulbs much better than the yellowish looking warm bulbs. The yellowish warm color bulbs hurts our eyes, especially when studying for an exam.
They are likely below the 3000K line then which is likely putting extra stress on your eye. For what you like go 3000K or above. True daylight is very different then most bulbs advertised as daylight so if you go a little further into what the bulb really is a true daylight may be a great option.
And home gyms. Using the right bulb for the area really makes a big difference. This is a little general as the "daylight" bulbs most often sold are not real daylight.
Soft White always give me old shack out in the boonies vibe. 5000K 1600 lumens 100w equivalent is the best for EVERYTHING in or outside of the house. Too bad I can only find them in A21 for GU24 base bulbs which are too big for some ceiling fans.
My wifes light went out in her office we switched them out and she doesn't like it the previous bulbs were a cool white 5000k and that's what she wants welp off to the store lol thanks 👍
Warm lights can be relaxing and cozy, but they're also gloomy and depressing. I'll take a neutral 'bright white' any day. Not too cool, not too warm. Just right.
The higher temperature lamps put out more blue light without conversion through a phosphor, and should be slightly brighter (or lower power/temperature). None of the lamps are precisely 800 lm (or 806 lm as they print here regardless of type). See reviews where lm and W are actually measured. What the manufacturers call 4000K is as high as I would go. It's a good match for daylight entering through windows. Perhaps 2700K would look most "natural" because of a single spectral peak fairly low. 3000K can look green. Only heated objects are truly natural.
Great question sorry I missed it when it came in. Most LED do post it now. If you know what Kelvin you're looking for you can search online based on that. Otherwise soft white is generally 2700K or less. Warm white to bright white is 3000 to 40000 and "daylight" is 5000k. Keep in mind this video doesn't go far enough on daylight as there are true daylight bulbs that are beautiful and bright. Most labeled as daylight though are really on a blue scale.
Add dude Please Please Please adjust the volume on your intro and outro. Its loud as F***. I never can understand why people's intros are so freakin loud. Dount you guys know how to level out your volume?
If you are under 35 and have spent 3/4 of your life staring at a game screen, this video may not apply to your unfortunate situation. I'll be outside if you need me.
Fair, I would agree you should always go with your personal preference while you're living in the house. This is really based on selling the property and making it appeal to the highest number of people.
Same. I hate the yellowish warm color. Belongs with shag carpet and wood panel walls. I understand everyone is different but it's more of a clean, crisp and modern look to me. Most I know feel the same way. Even my 80 year old grandmother prefers daylight color. I understand when it comes to selling, your personal opinion doesn't matter but to say nobody likes them just isn't even close to correct
Always go with what you prefer for sure. I actually run 5000K in my home gym with the right CRI level so not the basic "daylight" bulb and it is great.
I love the daylight.. I hate the yellow light.. Back in the day GE had one called Reveal am talking about back in 2004.. They where the only one that had that kind. It was just a natural lighting which i love.. But with the switch to LED Ect its a whole new thing and daylight is the closest thing to it.. And there reveal light bulbs now is different.. Also way more pricy lol
I honestly hate the Warm White bulbs, There too Common, There also boring, Yellowish, And even dingy depending to the light. Daylight LED bulbs are much better and less common and boring.
Exactly! It is a general rule of thumb when selling. The way you enjoy your own home is completely different than trying to make it appeal to the most amount of buyers.
I dont understand why everyone like the warm yellowish light. I would like it as bright as it comes. every light bulb in my house is 100 watts and I am not talking about LED lights I am talking about the old school 100 watts light builds. Brighter is better.
That is a really good point! When you talk about old school 100 watts you're talking about lumens. Often times people use to few lumens which makes the room feel dark. The other point on the old 100 watt bulbs are they were typically 3000K or brighter which puts out a nice bright feeling light.
I am kind of like you. I am 81 and can still hear my Father say, only buy 100w bulbs. As we age we need more light. I need a lot for my reading lamps. I use a 100w Philips repl, clear, sparkling bright bulb. Problem is they soon start to flicker and burn out too soon. Trying to find an LED and videos only confuse me more.
I hate the yellow light. It feels gloomy and depressing. Thx for the info but I disagree with your opinion on the cool light. The cool light is great for sellers.
The color of light bulb is not better or worse because just like food or music it's up to the person what selection(color) they like. It's sad when any video tries to push there selection on you. Ps when you go out next time to stores, public places, malls etc. You will see over 90% of places use daylight color bulbs. So clearly this video is lying about which color is more popular. Go out you'll clearly see daylight is the most popular.
Personal preference always is the key choice. This was aimed at selling a home which the goal is to make it warm and appealing to 80% of the people through the door so you're right it is generally aimed at that. You're not quite right on the 90% of places use daylight comment. You're actually taking it deeper into a great point though as CRI levels makes a huge difference in light so you'll see much different bulbs used in public areas. This was more focused at the "daylight" bulbs being sold that aren't even close to daylight and come out blue. Thank you for your comment. It adds a great discussion point.
You cant explain this with a video because its person to person personal preference. And what your trying to convey is your preference now the majority could share your personal preference IDK. Like real-estate most relators teach and say corner lots don't sell as well and although majority true there are some that prefer one. So maybe for a market staging view warm could be better again IDK
What language is this guy speaking?! I'm having a great deal of difficulty understanding him. I'm not sure whether it's the speed of delivery or his poor diction! 😀
I like the warm lights. It makes the room feel more welcoming and cozy. The other makes me feel like I'm in a cold industrial area.
Ong
agreed!!
Exactly. This was aimed at selling and that can be the feedback when the bulbs are to cold feeling.
It makes me feel lazy and sleepy but i guess it depends what you want your house to feel like

4000K is a great option. Nice bright feeling light without getting into the blue.
After watching the video and reading the comments, I am now totally confused as to which type of LED bulb I should buy.
People alarm light balance bud

You did not mention CRI levels and how its bet to to be as close to 100 as possible but great video
Such a great point! I've thought about doing another one and going a little further.
