Fuck uncovered lighting. I want light, not a blinding light source. Cover that shit up.
It just needs to be warm lighting. Any cool color lightbulbs don’t belong inside a house (unless it’s a workbench or something)
Warm lighting fucks up the apparent colors of my walls and makes them look quite sickly, because the colors I have don’t mix well with yellow (ime, most bright colors don’t mix well with warm lights, and my colors specifically are mostly in the blue/purple/red side of the color wheel), so you are incorrect.
It’s all about balance; cool lights don’t need to be as intense for the same apparent lumen result. Or, you know, get a shade. I don’t even own any warm lights anymore, but the only real clue is that my walls are the correct color at night…
There’s a difference between a 6000k and 4500k light. The latter is still warmer without being yellow. It’s usually bellow 3500k that it starts to fuck up with colors. But, a 6500k or more light will also fuck up your wall colors and make the house look like a factory warehouse. It also makes people look sickly and unnatural, and it is known to trigger headaches and migraines. Also, people’s opinions can’t be incorrect, it’s their opinion. Let them have it.
who the fuck invented strong overhead lighting. fixing lights to the ceiling like fucking savages.
can we please go back to the era of cozy desk lamps?
Well it’s a good thing to have when it’s evening and you drop something on the floor.
Whenever I open my window all I ever get is insects. I never get cool little birds, or small woodland creatures. No, just 50 different leggy insect things. None of which appear to be able to navigate out of the giant hole in the wall they just came through.
They hate us because they ain’t us.
The tears will come when I talk uncomfortably loud while just a little too close to you.
It’s the noise of a forklift backing up and air compressors for me. I never said a word about it but I noticed one of the factory workers always turns it off when he sees me. Really appreciate it and I give him homemade baked goods.
Think my wife turns on the vacuum cleaner when she is angry at me, but that is probably too cynical.
I think the lighting in my house would trigger everyone here.
Previous homeowner installed the fan and it has 3 candelabra sized sockets. Getting regular bulbs for it were far too dim. So I got these. And then the enclosure didn’t fit so I said fuck it.
TBF, I mostly keeps the lights off in my house. I’m currently sitting in darkness on my computer.
No shit, why would you turn the lights on if it’s those lights. Get yourself some illumination customized to your needs before your eyes give up on life.
Wait hold on is this something that bothers other ADHD people? How did they know this was an effective threat? Is this wildly known?
Is this why my parents would always turn the light on when I was in a room alone and I was sort of in trouble for forgetting my brother at the park?
Yes, the neuotypicals use the light as a weapon against us, we must rise up and usher in a new era of comfortable semi-darknesss
My wife has finally learned that I’m ok with overhead lightning, but it can’t be at 100% it actually makes my eyes hurt at max intensity. I’m also a ginger and recently learned we apparently tend to have sensitivities to light as well. I never stood a chance lol
How have you managed to adapt to getting struck by lightning regularly? This is something I’ve been trying to sort out for myself or some time so needless to say I am very curious
Lol, the smartass answer is: not easily. The serious answer for me has been a really good pair of polarized anti-glare sunglasses. I wear glasses myself so the sunglasses are prescription and my regular glasses are also transition. Whenever possible I use lights that can be dimmed and prefer using non overhead lighting. My house has a lot of windows so I will usually keep those open since that bothers me less than the regular lights. But as it gets later in the day my eyes get more sensitive so I will dim/turnoff lights gradually as it gets later. Obviously I’m not always in locations with this much control so sometimes I have to tough it out for a bit. The sunglasses are lifesavers in those instances because they aren’t just dark to help with brightness so I can usually wear them even inside and still be able to see. Sorry for the formatting since I’m on my phone and hopefully that helps at least somewhat.
It really doesn’t bother me, although bare florescent bulbs trigger my migraines.
