I find white light depressing.

My home city has metro coaches with either yellow or white lights. Me and a few friends of mine would skip the white ones because we found the yellow ones more comforting. On the other hand, my dad prefers white and in a room with types of lighting he will always go for the white ones.

I like daylight bulbs as well, living in Germany they are a lifesaver because it is cloudy all day and dark at 3-4PM in the winter. However in the evening, around 8PM, I change over to the yellow hued ones. Best of both worlds.

I prefer natural white lights. I don't light rooms with them, but the light that terrarium/vivarium bulbs made to mimic sunlight give off is sublime IMO.
