Poll - preferred color temperature

BLF just did one of these, so why not us? Please, no toplevel comments unless your significantly different preference is missing, and don't downvote. Not even that horrible option everyone must hate.

Edit: preliminary results (we don't really have a fixed end date for this):

Total votes: 227

  • 3000K: 17 (7%)
  • 3500K: 17 (7%)
  • 4000K: 64 (28%)
  • 4500K: 55 (24%)
  • 5000K: 45 (20%)
  • 5500K: 15 (7%)
  • 6000K: 7 (3%)
  • 6500K: 5 (2%)
  • 7000K: 4 (2%)

Numbers do not add up to 100% due to rounding. Number of votes does not necessarily equal number of voters, as some may have voted for more than one (this is approval voting, not plurality).

For those linked here from another discussion, 4000-5000K, and sometimes up to 5500K are generally considered neutral white. 4000K is sometimes considered warm white and anything lower definitely is. 6000K and higher is cool white. How manufacturers use these terms can vary slightly. So that's:

  • Warm white: 14-44%
  • Neutral white: 44-79%
  • Cool white: 7-14%
