Why do some cultures prefer to light their homes with bright white neon lights? And others with more yellow dimmed lighting?
I thought it was a class/wealth thing, not a culture thing. But I could very well be wrong.
I didn’t know that I’d say it’s cultures. My wife and I grew up in the same culture but she can only stand warm whites and I prefer as close to daylight in color temperature as possible.
It’s just preferences afaik.
No such thing as “white neon”, presumably you mean “fluorescent.”
Mr Vonnegut, may I offer this as an intro into that exact subject from an early 20th century Japanese design perspective?
I prefer whatever uses less electricity and still produce enough light to read by.
sick cultures vs healthy ones
Cultural phenomenon, or personal choice? I like yellow lighting, but my brother prefers white.
