Well strangely enough some of us just have a different opinion from
you. Hard to accept, I know. I have never found a (commercially
available, domestic) light too bright for me. Really.

Does not have to be about "too bright" though does it... just a
reflection of the fact that some spaces are multiple use and different
lighting suits different uses. For example, the lighting in my office is
dimmable. Most of the time when working "full on" is just right.
However if I am watching a film / youtube at the computer then less
bightness can be preferable. A dimmer achieves that at pretty much zero
extra effort.

Quite. Even more so in a multi-purpose room like most living rooms.

It's one thing I've not come to terms with. I like the way tungsten go
nice
and 'warm' when dimmed. LEDs stay about the same colour temperature.

The fancy ones like the most expensive Hue bulbs dont.

You are free to have any color temp you like with any brightness you
like and name every config so its trivial to select any time you want one.

Perhaps I'll get used to it. Oddly, it never bothered with the dimming
florries in the kitchen.

Yeah, I originally got some of the Hues that cant have their color
temp changed. I found them very yellow indeed, irritatingly yellow,
even tho I had previously mostly used PAR38 floods inside and they
are much yellower than normal incandescent bulbs.

Hardly notice how yellow that one is now, most of the other are
the more expensive ones which can have any color temp you like.

Apologies for my lack of response - for some weird reason my newsreader is refusing to fetch any of this thread. I'm resorting to google groups for time being.

Argh, wrong thread. Damn google groups
