+ | The LED strips allow the brightness of the light to be spread over the room, removing central points from light bulbs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I used LED strips with different colour temperatures: | ||
+ | * cold (blueish) white above the work bench | ||
+ | * plain white in the centre | ||
+ | * warm (yellowish) white above the sofa | ||

+ | * warm and dim when relaxing | ||
