I hate lights in general. Down with lamps and overhead lighting both. Memorize where things are in your home like god intended.
on that neolithic farmhouse grindset
I'm in my walking around with a candlestick in a sleeping cap arc
When it’s bright on campus I literally walk around with my eyes closed 90% of the time, so I’ll take this sentiment a step further: down with the sun, give me overcast days forever
lol, i do this. i move through the house in darkness and silence just from habit. kinda fucks people up when i have guests and forget to be normal.
woe who would break in and steal

Well I wasn't expecting this to be the way I discovered my wife's Hexbear account.
I’m with team lamp. Lamp is love, lamp is life. I want pools of light illuminating specific bits of my room with darker areas to highlight points of interest and dim others. Also no direct light in my eyes in any seating position. Sure I have big lights, which I use if doing something that requires decent light, but to eat dinner or relax in the evening - turn that thing off, it’s like getting a police interrogation! I want my cozy lamps.
I bet you eat the last peach as well.
I feel this is a reference I’m being whooshed by. But for what it’s worth I’m more of a nectarine kinda guy.
I think it's just easier to look at things when the light isn't harsh and I don't need to avoid looking in any particular direction.

I bet she's the kind of nightmare demon person that insists on "Daylight White" color temp as well.
Or worse, the kind of person who doesn't know or care about color temp and so mixes cool and warm lights in the same space
This is why I go for 8000k in all settings, so I get a nice OR vibe
you cant stop me tho
lamp guy
Where's his magic thumb?
Really hoping the Big Light she's referring to is the sun
Genuinely baffled by this article and even more by it seeming like everyone understands the context here.
Virgin lampcels vs. chad overhead light enjoyers

There's a whole big debate over whether lamps or overhead lights are the Correct Way to illuminate a space.
But sir, I'm autistic and can't stand harsh overhead lighting
I'm autistic and can't stand the old people blind ass mole person lighting in the kitchen we have. Oh yeah I love to cook and not be able to see SHIT. i tried to replace the lightbulb in the center of the kitchen BUT GUESS WHAT IT'S SOME KIND OF LED STICKER BULLSHIT WIRED INTO THE CEILING and I'm not a FUCKING ELECTRICIAN
Totally on the side of bright fucking lights in workspaces but all the chill spots in the house get mood lighting. That sucks, sorry about your shitty kitchen light. It shouldn't be too hard to replace, though. It's only a couple wires.
why use many lamp when big lamp do trick
how many wifi connections does it take to screw in a light bulb
my ad supported smart lights micro-strobes subliminal commercials for more smart lights directly into my spinal column and basically, I am very happy with my chosen ecosystem
The big light is for when you need to look for something small at night
Very odd to see this subject in the wild outside of the autistic bisexual community
I'm a big-light guy. When i'm doing stuff in my house, i want to SEE. Cleaning dishes, vacuuming, moving stuff, whatever. I want everything lit and visible.
Big Light on the ceiling for some real shit, Lamp when i don't need a lot of light.
This is why i installed garage lights in my basement
I'm not getting suckered into creating a prime environment for boogiemen
Big Light virgins: Believing that a single light is adequate for lighting
Lampcels: Obscuring lighting with shades
Me and my lampshades with all the shades taken out:
indirect lighting only
My Mom keeps eight lamps in the living room and I hate walking around to toggle them all. My strategy is dimmable LED strips in strategic locations, all controlled by a single knob—it avoids the harsh single point source while maintaining its simplicity of operation.
There was a time in my youth that I lived by the big light. I can't go back. It's so harsh, like a little yellow sun aging all it touches with a tinge of sepia. No, corner lamps are my way now.
Preach sister. Its always so dark in the house and when I want light it's 5 lamps on remote clicker that always lost in the couch or something. I just want a central light that doesn't make it look like the batcave inside.
Just get smart bulbs! Set up an automation to turn all the lamps on at once, if that's what you want!
i will never ensmarten my home
jokes aside there are also self-hosted options, and you can use Zigbee lights which are not IP-accessible at all.
self hosted light bulbs
i feel like an alien reading this
agreed, but for the love of Jod, set up a zigbee or z-qave system instead of granting cheap wifi shitbulbs access to your home network. I even have a lil' zigbee button+knob combo that works like an old rotary rheostat dimmer but wireless, with minimal latency, unlike wifi.
i once thought I was losing my mind because I was unknowingly using a lamp with a smart bulb in it and someone from another apartment kept accidentally bluetoothing into it and playing reggae for like 1-2 seconds
It’s trivial to set up those five or more lamps on one switch. Zigbee lamps work great.
The big light is useful when vacuuming, mopping, cleaning, or putting something together. But just chillin’? Fuuuuck no!
