Repaint three rooms vs trying a few different light bulbs? You must love

a lot in their colour quality so there's a fair chance of finding one that
will produce a more pleasant effect.


I've recently started trying high power leds. Not cheap, but results so far
are looking good.

similar issues: narrow spectral emission lines 'smeared' with phosphors.


Bit nicer basic spectrum to start with and less (no?) UV.
