That’s it, I think if your house is lit by Arctic icebergs then you really have no business hosting.

I have the lamps all set to cool white but when we have company I switch them to a warmer hue as I appreciate I'm in the minority.

I'm probably missing something
I think cold white light is my favourite kind of light - especially in winter

I've been at my mum's for a couple of days, she is elderly and had an astonishing stock of old-fashioned yellow light bulbs. It makes my head explode. Even when I go there for a couple of hours, I can't bear it.

but this is MN so you may be picturing big houses with intense levels of light that do resemble the dentist. Not the kind I get from daylight lamps in my flat.

YANBU. Same goes for cool white Christmas tree lights.

Yes. It’s soooo cold and clinical!

100% true, it’s not festive, it would be like celebrating Christmas at the dentist.

You are my alter ego
Blue light is just wrong. It should be illegal

We just bought a house that had these in, all replaced in under a day. You are correct

What? Is this a genuine complaint? If it is, I think I've seen it all on Mumsnet now in terms of finding something to whine about

YANBU in the slightest.
