So what you reckon is best other than daylight, other half will make
life hell if not bright enough.


So-called "daylight" is often 6000 - 6500K and blueish. For living/working
rooms I prefer 4100 - 4600K (I've both and there's very little difference)
as it's clear and bright and not blue.
In a 12' square room there 3-off 5W, 600lm 4100K lamps in clear/frosted
shades and the lighting is, er, brilliant.

The kitchen, a bit smaller, has 5-off 3W, 320lm 4100K lamps.

These are 'sem-flush', not recessed.
