My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

4" LED recessed lighting - finished basement - what color temperature

7 years ago

I'm looking at 3000K up to 4100K.


I don't want anything close to daylight (5000K).


I'm leaning towards 3000K which is what I have in my den (I think). Is this reasonable, or will I want it a bit brighter color (they will be on dimmers)?


Thanks!
