What colour of light do I want?
In the old days there was only one colour of bulb - yellow. All electrical bulbs had a nice warm glow. Then there was flourescent tube lighting, the kitchen kind - this was horrible, cool unflattering light the gave you a migraine. Imagine the difference between these when you are choosing your bulb colour. Particularly when shopping for LED bulbs its worth considering the options, warm white is our favourite - you can get 'very warm white', but this is a bit much for a kitchen and should probably be reserved for more restful areas like bedrooms and living areas. Its worth noting that in warmer countries the cooler colours are more popular than warm ,so we say go warm!
