Hello,
what color temperature (in Kelvin) do your LEDs have in your home? Have you chosen a brighter light color for the kitchen and bathroom? I have read that you should use at least 4000K in the kitchen. Has anyone done this? What about exterior lighting—do you also prefer around 4000K there?

Best regards,
Sabine

Everywhere 2700 millimeters (107 inches), as far as I remember

Here, 2700K throughout. This corresponds roughly to a halogen lamp. The important factor is the color rendering index, which should be above 90.

Do you find 2700K too yellow? Are LEDs with higher lumens less yellow, or does that not make a difference?

Best regards,

No, we don’t find it too yellow. It’s warm white, not yellow.
We have LEDs everywhere as accent lighting or for the staircase, and halogen in the indirect mirror light in the bathroom.

If you’re unsure: in large DIY stores, you can see and compare how they look when lit.

I currently have LED lighting only in the bathroom, and it is pure white (should be around 4000K). Very nice and bright without that terrible yellow tint.
