Does obsession with CRI, tint and CCT also apply to home smart light bulbs?

I am fairly nutty about 219b 4500K’s rosy tint :slight_smile: , but that is NOT necessarily what I would like for house lights. That rosy tint has beautiful and accurate color rendition but note that it’s really more magenta IMHO than rosy, well to my eyes anyway. It’s not for everyone, for example it would be stressful for me with continuous long exposure (as expected of house lights). Personally a warmer more golden color is what I prefer. All the light bulbs for my home are “soft white” class, nothing fancy. The closer to the old incandescent bulb’s color, the better for me.

If you don’t have any Nichia light yet, I would recommend you get a couple lights first, for example Convoy Nichia 219b 4500K (rosy magenta) and Nichia 519a 4500K (golden yellow), and see the difference for yourself. Those are two great starter lights for this hobby. IMHO and hope this helps.
