 +======= colours ======
 +
 +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
 +

 +
 +This allow me the change the ambiance:
 +  * cold to concentrate
 +  * mixed for general purpose
 +  * warm and dim when relaxing
 +
 +These modes are set in the firmware and switched between using the remote.
