There’s a solution here you’re not seeing… RGB lights. Setting the hue on the fly to match what I need has been pretty neat. Pure white for work, natural white for relaxing, red only for venting in the summer since insects can’t see it, green and blue strobe for dance nights, the only limit is your imagination. Living in the future has at least a few perks to go with all the downsides.
Though IME, the light quality of a real white LED is better than the mix of an RGB led. Also interesting: the cooler the LED is the higher the quality of the light.
There’s various metrics, like CQS, CRI or newer versions of it.
It’s basically about how close the wavelength spectrum is compared to a black-body radiator given a color temperature (e.g. an incandescent lamp or the sun).

Not doubting you, but how do you define the quality of the light?

Most “RGB” lights also have 2 white ones of different CCT for a more natural white.
Yes, and blending in between, including RGB, can enhance the quality of light as well to estimate a natural light source.
Most of them are so expensive, though.
No, Philips, I am not spending $50 on a single bulb, that is madness.
