Default LEDs as lamp replacements

Have you never wondered why most prefer the colour temperature of
tungsten for domestic lighting?


Familiarity, and because it embodies a kind of neat simple magic, a safe
capturing of fire in an idealised form. It's a scientific form that almost
everyone can grasp. It's as iconic as the wheel, it's just not been around
as long.

I guess the truth of 'natural daylight' emulations is that they make people
feel agoraphobic if they can't withdraw from that light. Bring on LED
colour mixing. Or at least a nice emulation of firelight.
