I'd have warm lights everywhere, feels much more natural and makes a place feel more homely. Its easy enough to changes globes. I'd leave it and see what you prefer for a while Re: Warm light usage 4Feb 16, 2014 7:22 pm In my old house we had a central circular fluouro in the kitchen with 3 halogen downlights above the kitchen bench. I never noticed they were different temperatures until thinking about lights for our new house! Similarly in the bathroom there was a warm overhead light and fluoro above the mirror. I really don't think it matters. So I don't think mixing tones matters very much. The only thing I'll say is apparently cool whites are better for above mirrors though - it's less flattering and helps with makeup/shaving/plucking so you can see details better!! Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65085 Re: Warm light usage 5Feb 16, 2014 7:51 pm The colour of light is very much a personal preference. For me, I am a warm light person. Apparently 2700 Kelvin is the temperature for warm lights. My mother has fluoros throughout her place and loves them. Growing up with these, I think that's what turned me into a warm light person. You will notice the difference between the two. It will stick out like the proverbial. I would suggest you go one way or the other. If it was me I would go warm, but then that's just me.

I agree in that its personal preference, and combining the 2 (especially in an open plan) I would stick to one colour, and you don't necessarily need to go for cool white. You can also go for a natural white (between warm and cool) I hope this helps Kind Regards, Kristin Lighting Expert Phone -1300 798 220 Email - service@golights.com.au Website - http://www.golights.com.au Re: Warm light usage 8Feb 20, 2014 4:47 pm Yea good choice, Post some photos of the end result if you get a chance, would love to see it!
