Um, yeah because it's natural. What do you think rains down on you all day, every day of your life since the day you where born?

Higher color temperatures (4600K or more) are called daylight colors which appear blue-white. Mid-range color temperatures (3100K–4600K) look cool white. Lower color temperatures (up to 3000K) are called warm white colors and range from red to yellowish-white in tone.

The easiest way to have what you want in the LED color is to purchase theatre gels, and i like the Bastard Amber color when used in the stock AS LED's for 2015. The overall effect is so much more pleasant than the bright whites, although over my cooking area I have not placed filters in the lights as I like the very brightest when cooking.

Plus, the nice thing about the gels is that if one wants to change these it is not a problem. And, much less expensive than the purchase of new LED bulbs.

Yup. Brown to yellow light is relaxing at night. Strong blue light messes with your bodies melatonin levels and can cause sleep issues. Some cell phones and computer displays can do similar things.

Bottom line, try to stay off the electronics before bedtime.

LED Bulbs for our Airstreams are actually relatively inexpensive, 10 for 10 almost.

I just got more from another manufacture to test. These where about $1.68 a per puck.

Testing a few different colors.
