Sooooo, I always saw offices with neon bulbs, so, very very cold light (well, actually "hotter" in Kelvin degrees...) and very bright. So I copied this in my home office, which is a 12 square meter (130 square foot) room with 6x 7000K bulbs, each emitting about 800 lumen.
Am I doing totally wrong, according to TFA?
Should I replace them with warm bulbs? I'usong GU10 bulbs.
Color temperature preferences tend to be very dependent on the person. I personally find warm color to be the most relaxing but find myself straining when viewing a screen in too warm of an environment. Warm tones will tend to slightly desaturate a picture and my eyes and brain strain to "compensate" for the desaturation. I find it best to keep my office environments a bit warm, but still on the cold side.
This article is just what worked for me. Some people are more light color sensitive, if you like your cool lighting and a lot of light and it works - go for it.
I wasn't judging anyone, sorry if it felt judgemental.
I was genuinely asking, because cold, bright light is all I experienced in a workplace and when I replicated it at home, I didn't feel any particular issue with my vision.
But I also tend to act a bit like a mule or workhorse in these cases, carrying on anyway until I realize it's actually harmful.
