Saw a blog post where someone used those adjustable color temp LEDs over their sewing station. They kept it warm for mood but could crank it to daylight bright for matching threads. Kinda misses the point of that old singular vibe though, idk.
I always thought the old dim light was just part of the process, but having control over the vibe AND the brightness is a total game changer. You get the cozy feeling without the eye strain.
