That’s me and the bulbs are available almost everywhere they are LEDs in 4000k they mimic bright sunlight and keep colors from changing at night like the old incandescent bulbs did ans also the warm LEDs Sometimes they are called daylight . I get mine at HD.

Your name popped into my head picking up my grocery order, which they gave me the wrong order, ugh, so I have to go back out. I am looking at Lowes online right now...I am light bulb challenged...4000k is the color-not the wattage....I am seeing warm white and daylight. I am thinking I need daylight??

Warm white is 2700k which is like traditional light bulbs. Daylight usually means 4000k and has a more blue cast. I prefer 3000k... the good news is you can buy some of each and try them out. Make sure you buy the correct type of bulb- cans need reflector types while regular fixtures don’t.

I did a lot of research on lightbulbs before selecting which brand and color I wanted. This was about 3 to 4 years ago. Had to get about 50 replacement bulbs for the home I bought.

I found that the CREE Daylight from Home Depot and the FEIT daylight from Costco were the two that had good ratings, really nice color and high CRI (Color Rendering Index).

K values on the packaging do not always equate to the exact same color between brands. I believe my research showed that the k value on the package is +- 500 k.

I don't know if Lowes carries either of the brands I selected.

You can also just go online to any large bulb supplier I use 1000bulbs too. I do not dind 4000k to be blue at all so I would still stick to that bulb.

5000 is a true white light, it is not blue.

Top left is 5000 k.

IMO natural daylight is much closer to 4000K I have it all through my house and not one color changes when the sun goes down and my lighting comes on that is the aim IMO .

Hello everyone... I went to Lowes...I needed help and asked for the 4000K & they had no idea, they told me to get bright white , nothing "warm" . There wasn't a 4000k or whatever that k value is on the boxes. I bought a bulb to try Bright White, 75 Watts, 850 Lumens. All I could think of was Jake from the Blues Brothers....YES. YES. JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST... I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT. LOL. It's too bright! I know they are dimmable but we would have to install dimmers. Ever notice how one project morphs into so much more? For now, I just need something that reads cool, but not so bright. Since they had no idea, & I really don't know what it means...I specifics. Where do I find this K value?

To find the CRI if it is not listed on the package you can look up the bulb on the Energy Star website https://www.energystar.gov/productfinder/product/certified-light-bulbs/results

Just checked out the 1000 lightbulbs site.

• LED Light Bulbs - A19
• LED Light Bulbs - 60 Watt Equal - 4000 Kelvin

Result - 3 brands w/4 lightbulbs

Looked up one specs on one of each brand listed and the highest CRI was 82.

I have installed lighting in many kitchens. The light should be placed so that people in the kitchen do not cast shadows on the work surface and the dining area;
At the same time, the light sources must not be too bright so as not to dazzle people.
Some light sources must complement the others, and the Alexa & Google Without Hub light bulbs are suitable for this.
It is also necessary to consider the color scheme of the kitchen. So, light walls and furniture will reflect up to 80% of the light flux, and dark - only about 12%. The dining and working areas need different lighting power. Approximate norms are as follows: illumination power for the working area - 100 W/m2, dining area - 50 W/m2.

Ok, Cris, while we're on... isn't undercabineting lighting the only way to prevent major shadows - or do recessed ceiling lights also prevent - placed right?
