Next best thing to coffee
As some of my friends twitted earlier some British scientists found out the LED lighting could affect our natural sleep patterns. Well, I don't know is it true or not... but if true for me and others IT-centric people out there it could mean one thing - there is some other thing between heavy caffeine diet to stay sharp. And, well, I don't really think something could damage cycles of sleep for IT geek or programmer :P. Nothing natural there, let me assure you.
Nevertheless, I continue to introduce LED-based lighting in my home. All lighting based on "warm-light" LEDs, emitting white light with color temperature around 2500-2700K. Here is a few samples of LED lighting (hi, basil_lion) at my place:
Ceiling lighting, LED panels. Custom-fitted by me.
Based on a same tech as back light for your laptop screen, with LED stripes at the sides and light filters in the middle of a panel.
Yes, ceiling panels is thin, less than 14mm in thickness. And only 18 watts in energy consumption.
My table lamp, with E27-based CREE light bulb. 7 watts and it could light whole room if pointed as on photo, on a white ceiling.
