advice on warm light bulbs - all mine are probably bright white...

raspberrypie

i've got cfl's, and some led lights... flourescents........... these are all BRIGHT WHITE. does anyone know of any low energy alternatives for these BRIGHT WHITE bulbs? they're like a LOUD NOISE. 

sorry for all the shouting, but that's how the lights feel to me. or do people use those energy inefficient incandescents? 

i'm thinking of buying colored paper, to shield my light bulbs. currently, i use white paper (because that's what i have).

tysm! happy easter, for those of you so inclined. for those not so inclined, happy sunday, or is it passover on sunday?

  • I strongly prefer the bright white version. When I moved into my flat it had warm white and I was literally falling asleep by 5pm in winter. The bright white makes it much easier to stay up until 7-8pm.

    Both are available. On Amazon you just toggle between warm or bright/cool on the product page.

    I agree with that conclusion, white will keep you up longer than yellow

    or it can go to extremes as it often happens with us as I've just found out for myself 

    I recently bought LED Corn Bulbs, they come in two versions: yellow-warm or white-cold

    I had to remove white from bedroom because I coulldn't even sit and relax, I can have it in a kitchen only, everywhere else I use yellow

    I had no idea there were different kinds of light bulbs. This might be a stupid question but are there any that are less bright? By that i dont mean ones that make the room less bright, I need a bright room or i get depressed. I mean ones that dont blind you with white light when you look at them. I get migranes and a bad sensory overload from the normal ones

    you need some kind of shade for lightbulb to difuse the light. I found out that matt transparent white plastic works best, I use one like this in bedroom 

    smaller one has strong LED bulb that is good for reading in bed

    I feel like I'm being blinded even by a flame of a candle, like that light is drilling through my eyes into my brain, I can't look in that direction if it's not shaded or further than 5m
