Well, you might not have a problem, but some people like colour temperatures >3000K.

> Sometimes I think about getting LED smart lighting, but then I think about how many iterations of setups I would have to go through it get everything dialed in, all the e-waste I would be contributing to, all the plastic, all the security vulnerabilities, all the software updates, all the glitches, all the flicker from cheap PWD circuitry and I decide to stick with simple glass and red hot metal.

I’ve found a lot of that hassle is mitigated by getting high-end dumb LED bulbs, paired with reliable smart switches (only where specifically required for automation purposes) from a traditional lighting manufacturer with long support periods. (Lutron.)
