I’ve had SK6812 WW LEDs set up in several rooms of my house for a few hears now. Here are my observations:
- The “warm” white is actually fairly neutral. Desaturated RGB colors look great. Personally, I thought the cool and bright white versions skewed way too much towards blue.
- Tried the [255,255,255,0] white. Not nice looking at all. It’s very, very blue. (there’s a picture of the two whites in the first post in this thread.)
- The SK8612 is fantastic for room accents, and adding some diffuse light around the edges of a room. But unless you use a lot of them, they’re not great as a room’s “main” white lights. High CRI warm white bulbs or COB modules are brighter and less fatiguing. (I remember seeing a spectral analysis of the white from the SK6812 a couple of years ago – not really smooth, lots of sharp peaks and missing bits.)
