[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I added it to our living room and family room.  I’m very happy with it now.  You do have to pay attention to the “warmth” rating of the lights.

Initially our living room was done with 3000k and it was way too white.  It looked like a doctor’s office.  I hated it.  Had another contractor come in and he changed them out to 2700k and it was so much better.  We had him do the family room as well.   [/quote]

Agree with the warmth rating. I put 4000k lights in family room and kitchen (open floor plan) since the kitchen does not have any windows or natural light and we needed the lights on in the daytime. I hate it at night. It looks so clinical. Spent too much so I guess we are stuck with it for a few years [/quote]

Are the LEDs part of the recessed fixture or a separate bulb that can be changed out? They have smart bulbs that are capable of changing warmth rating. I have lights that can be tuned to super white during the day ( to match natural light) and then dimmed to a very orange yellow late at night. There are various brand but I have used Phillips and been happy with the range of white and ability to change it with the day. I think they even have a “sunset” program that automatically shifts towards warm the later it gets…almost like the night mode for your phone but for your house! [/quote]
