Reply to comment by anonymous_lighting in How many of these recessed lights can I use on a dimmer switch? by notscammed

5000k is what my wife prefers. Sigh. We just added LED ceiling lights in the future baby room, and I pretended they didn't have a 5000k color setting. Baby doesn't need to grow up like a lab rat.

as a lighting professional, i often find people mistake brighter white for more light which is untrue. maybe your wife thinks she likes 5000K based on the feeling it provides more light. maybe a mini lesson could help. lumens are the measurable output and the appropriate amount for the setting makes all the difference
