Warm or cool? Personally, I can't stand fluorescent light unless I'm in the chem. lab. I have to have warm light. I do like sunlight, though. Not too warm, not too cool.

candles for atmosphere

I prefer the warm light from candles.

Candles and side lamps are nice and cosy.

But if the company is uneasy on the eyes, then no light is better. . .

Neutral, slightly warm, like my headphones.

Normal incandescent light is ugly, "white" fluorescent lights are too blue for me. My room currently contains two warm and two cool-colored fluorescent lights to create a balanced color temperature.

Those "full-spectrum" fluorescents are what does it for me - not too cool, not too warm. Much better lighting since I got them.

Would prefer coolish-neutral light, but in the interest of saving money I have more yellow energy-saving bulbs in the house. In photographs however, I prefer warm lighting.

Fluorescent lites give me a headache. I can see them strobe and it drives me NUTS.

I'll take full-spectrum light any day. Sunlight is best.

I wub halogen bulbs. Sure they give off huge amounts of heat, but I love the light they give off. (and the heat they produce can help heat the room, two in one. That's a win.)

Edit-
I especially love the standing lamps that use halogen bulbs, those are awesome. I used to have two. One of them kept killing bulbs one after the other, and the other came apart at one of the links and it wouldn't go back together. I miss them.

But at least I have a little halogen desk lamp, it's cool.

I'm kinda partial to Samuel Adams Light...

2800K (ish) spots, and turn up the furnace. A comfy chair or bed and a choice of fine headphones. Home is indeed sweet! The Ikea CFLs have a great soft quality to them, but the color's only nice while they are warming up, then the green tone creeps up.

 

[Quaddy]

warm please.

 

[Edwood]

About 6500K works well for me.
