Are you confusing colour temperature with Color Rendition Index which is measured as a percentage? Halogen is circa 98% a lot of led is less than 90%. As an example aubergine would look black in a lot of led light.
Airhead-
No, was schooled in mired shift, CC, kelvin, spikes in spectral graphs, Gamut etc etc so know what CRI and TLCI are.
was commenting on my dislike of 3200ºk in domestic settings and using 4000ºk lighting.
I even picked the RGB values of the grey walls to work with the colour temperature of the bulbs and reflected north light in the room.I work with colour/light every day so it’s a bit of a ‘thing’ for me.

@airhead good point about buying a spare, hadn’t though of that, i’m on board with CRI, i’m a photographer so am aware not all light sources are created equal, in my current place i have 4000ºK everywhere as i’m not a fan of tungsten as i find the yellow a bit grim.
@Tenderloin good shout, there is also the Astro Kos which is probably between the 2 in price/finish.
@Grumpy_Git am considering this for the lounge/diner as new lamp over dining area is on the lounge switch as splitting them would mean lots more concrete chasing so if they are smart i can split them apart and maybe have one on a motion switch from 1am-6am for low level bathroom visits.
