  This video made me realize that the popularity of dark academia is a reaction to the fact that most of us have had all of our educational experiences conducted under fluorescent lighting.

  To anyone who doesn&apos;t just hate cool-toned light but also has an issue with &quot;warm-toned LED&quot; because they still make everything appear desaturated and sad: look for a high CRI! (Color rendering index)<br>A high CRI (97 or higher) indicates that there is a good amount of red light, which will in turn bring out the warmer tones in your skin, your surroundings... once I changed my bathroom lightbulbs, I looked so much more alive and healthy, it was baffling.<br><br>This is something that galleries and museums prioritise too, since showing colour well and evenly is important. I&apos;d rather light my home like an art gallery than a hospital.<br><br>A lot of companies do not indicate what the CRI even is. Steer clear and look for the ones who declare it, demonstrating that they actually care about light quality as much as you do!

  I used to frequent a coffee shop and it was soo cozy with red velvet booths and carpeted floors. They renovated it with white floor tile, &nbsp;grey granite countertops and of course the cool lighting... my welcomed and comfortable coffee shop, turned into a tired and rushed corporate office. I never returned after it re-opened.

  I always notice how “cosy”, healthily warm light was prevalent in shows in the 90s and that’s partly what made shows like Friends or Buffy feel so welcoming and homely. I still come back to them for that warm feel, and I wish shows would come back to that now at least partially.

  The worst lighting situation is always fluorescents in changing rooms.

  Star Trek: The Next Generation went in the opposite direction. &nbsp;For the first two seasons, the show had a hard, high contrast lighting style. &nbsp;When Melvin Rush took over running the camera in Season 3, the lighting look for became more theatrical, with pools of light around the characters and more shadowy backgrounds. &nbsp; That became the signature look of the series.

  I have noticed this. I really feel like this is part of why the world feels so different from my childhood, everywhere.

  they switched out the streetlamp near my bedroom window with an LED a few years ago, and i’m still shocked by it some nights. it feels like there’s a helicopter search light outside, instead of the comforting honey-coloured light that was there before.

  I went to university in Glasgow so not only am i super familiar with Kelvin since everything ever is named after him, my enduring image of him is his sitting statue in Kelvingrove park that always and forever had a traffic cone on it (the university is right next door, also Glaswegians have a sense of humour), he always looked like a wizard on a throne.

  I always noticed that the lighting changed on GG, but never knew the details. The departure of the cinematographer midway during S5 is when my love for the show wanes. I think everyone looks good in amber lighting and my home is filled with bubbles of soft, warm light. &nbsp;So much so, that a friend who prefers to live in 10000K light said my place was a cave.
