This is the reason I decided to use 4000K instead of the more physically accurate 5400K. I picked a less middle of the day color temperature and closer to evening time, basically.
I spent a lot of time looking at LED suppliers and there's quite a range of options in terms of color temperature. Some manufacturers even have 2 color temps on the same LED package, meaning you can sort of do what you describe by mixing two light sources at a distance less than a millimeter.
> Honestly I want to build something like this but my area of expertise is too far into the software ___domain, and not very far into the hardware or electrical engineering ___domain.
That was me last year before starting this project! You'd be surprised what you can achieve with time and effort!
Thanks for your response, that’s actually very encouraging. I e definitely spent a lot of time looking at LED suppliers too.
Currently my favorite bulbs are the ones that are as you describe- two LEDs, one as high as 6500k and one as low as 2200k and it mixes depending on the state of the dinner. Automateable!
