Dynamo Dynamic White Lighting
With the advent of solid state lighting, often referred to as LEDs, and the digital controls that accompany it, tuning in to a specific “color” of white light is now possible. In the past, a light source’s color was fixed based on either technology, or a mix of phosphors specific to a bulb, or lamp. Now a single light source can be tuned to output warm white light, cool white light, and anything in between.

The scientific reason you don’t like LED bulbs — and the simple way to fix them
We know from earlier work on fluorescent lighting that even though the flicker is too fast to be visible, it remains a likely health hazard.

We found that office workers were half as likely on average to experience headaches under the non-flickering lights.
