Which is one thing I dislike about LEDs. I tend to dim lights when I'm

quality when that's on full. Perhaps one day.


Its here now with the best of the LEDs which have full color temperature
and dimming control and you are free to specify a set of color temps
and brightness and switch between them.


Sadly, there's more to light quality than the nominal colour temperture.

Dips in the spectrum effect some colours but not others. Etc.


Yes as daylight comes from the sun who's light mainly comes from hydrogen it's NOT the same as any LED presently produced on earth.


I doubt much of the light from the Sun is attributable to the hydrogen.
It's mostly 6000K black body radiation.
