@hellomiakoda@pdx.social Getting the color/tone of light just right is a big thing with me. And then brightness level depends on mood. I *love* using strings of warm-toned Christmas lights. I don't think I've tried LED ones yet but, that's really good to know because flickering is a huge deal breaker.
In that same vein... My sister bought me one of those northern lights projector things and I have to be really careful not to look directly at it, and I only really like the red light, but I turn it on once I'm in bed and I find it so soothing. It's surprising because I've never liked any light at all being on when I'm in bed, but something about the moving light..... Seems counterintuitive, but it works :bunhdcomfyhappy:

@diametrijenesis@lgbtqia.space A neat trick with the DC ones.... The demo button is a battery pack connected to the same connector the transformer uses. Not enough to run them much, but... If you take that connector, and wire a USB cable to it (swipe one from a broken device!), you can then plug the lights in to a USB battery bank. Useful when the power is out, or take camping, or dimly light an unpowered space like an attic. They run a bit dimmer than on the transformer, but pretty close.
