I hate using The Big Light™, but I can’t always have my room dark. My led strip that is up in the corner of the ceiling just died, so I’m looking for replacements. I’m not opposed to another one, I’m just curious what all else there is. thanks

edit: I might actually just replace my big light bulbs with hue bulbs or something (though those are mad expensive)

    A single light in the ceiling, controlled by a wired switch next to the door.

    When I want light, I want a lot of it; when I want dark, I want complete darkness.

        I get eye aches pretty quickly without enough light. I find I need light behind and around my monitor otherwise I get soreness.

        Ya, dont do big overhead lights, get

        a lamp or three color smart Hue bulbs + hub

        start playing around with colors and get an app that lets you take a photo and change the lights to the palette from the images, this is a good way to learn how to manipulate color and ligting
