Home office lighting.

In my home office room (10.5 m²/115 sq. ft), I used to have 4 neutral-white (3000K) LED bulbs of average brightness (450 lm).

I replaced them with the same number of cool-white (6000K), super bright LED bulbs (900 lm). What a difference! It took a few days to get used to it, but I am very happy with the change. I feel much more energized at work.

I sometimes work before bedtime, and I was worried that the lew light would affect my sleep quality, but I haven't noticed any difference in that respect.

A while ago, I read a blog claiming that most people have their light at home way too dim, but I cannot find it anymore. If anyone has some resources on this topic, I would be grateful for a link.

Edit: Fixed the color temperature values, added some bg info.

I assume 4000K (cool white) and 2700K (warm white) are mixed up.

Definitely seconded, makes a huge difference (I also have a LED bar with 4000K + 4800 lumens in my office room)

How does the cool light work? I am concerned that some fluorescent or LED bulbs give off that Safeway/grocery store yucky ambiance, but I want to feel more energized at work. Can you link to any models you bought, just simply light bulbs? I lack lighting desperately.
