Hey, looks like this is a new query.

We switched to four color decks (Copag, I believe) in my friend's home game. But we find that that the colors are hard to distinguish.

I do not know what type of bulb is in his standard ceiling light fixture but it appears to be very "cool." (As many may know, the so-called color temp is inverse to the temp of the light as measured by "physics." A "Cool White" bulb is 5000K+, a "Warm" one is around 2900K.)

So. Anyone try different LED bulbs along the Warm-Natural White-Daylight-Cool White spectrum? These names are not very standardized so if you have a recco specify the degrees Kelvin temperature if you have it (on the packaging and probably on the bulb). Or the bulb brand and nomenclature.

Thanks for any reccos or other thoughts.

Be seeing you.

No idea about what would help the cards, but I note that I bought two different brands of "warm white" led christmas lights, and one has way more yellow than the other. So even color names are unreliable.

Yup. Not very standardized. Thanks.

Anyone else have some real-world experience to report on this? If it were my basement I would just get several types and see what works best but it is up the road a bit at my friend's and his patience is not widely celebrated anyway.

Daylight LED is better. Its more of a clear bright light, enables colours to be view clearer. 60 watt 5000 Kelvin

I have a bright white focused on the table, and then throughout the rest of the room, the lights are very warm (basically, a soft yellow). I use various Phillips Hue lights to do this.

This allows clarity where it matters (the table) but softness through the rest of the area.
