I have the same issue with neighbors with extremely bright outdoor lights, sometimes I think they have a plane coming in. What makes it worse is that half the time the houses are unoccupied but they still leave all the outside lights on.
I really like our gazebo lights, they are solar powered and have worked reliably for a while now , even in dark and dreary winter weather, about 16 lights on one string and one solar panel. They look like edison bulbs, and have that warm slightly orange light colour. They come on as soon as it gets dark (photosensor) and the juice seems to run out around 3 am or so, we run them all year long.
I do have a neighbor that occasionally turns on the monster light.
They're almost a half mile away but it's bright enough shining into my bedroom it forms harsh light/darm shadows.
It's especially annoying since it is in my eues when I'm trying to get to sleep.
All of the houses in our allotment have outside lights like on Patricia's house. Being we have no street lights the lights on the houses stay on all night. Almost all the lights are low wattage but there are a few that have bright white lights.

BTW I have 51 LED lights in the house.
I find them cold and am holding off as long as I can but I am running out of supplies. Thankfully we have ceiling lights where we spend most of our time. All the lamps in the house have real light bulbs. I could care less about any savings.
I have a blue twisted one on our screened in back porch .
While color temperature dictates the hue of light, the Color Rendering Index (CRI) measures how accurately a light source displays colors compared to natural light. CRI is rated on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating better color rendering.
A light source with a high CRI (90 or above) will reveal colors more vividly and accurately, making it easier to distinguish different hues. This is particularly important in environments where color accuracy is crucial, such as in art studios, makeup areas, or kitchens.
In contrast, a lower CRI might make colors appear washed out or distorted. For example, a CRI below 80 can make it challenging to differentiate between colors, which might not be ideal for tasks requiring precise color discrimination.
Costco had a four pack of recessed led lights for can recepticals that was $17. It had a color slider switch on it so I could get our preferred "warm" color that was close to incandescent. Took less than a minute to swap them out. I did 44 lights inside and out with a few spares for the eventual failure. Great price and they look great. I donated two boxes of led bulbs to St Vincent de Paul.
I bought these LED bulbs at Costco and I like them because not only are they dimmable, but they have an adjustment slider on the base that controls the shade of "whiteness" from 2700K to 6500K. And they only use 8.8 Watts as a 60 Watt replacement.
P.S. See the joke of the day thread for a light bulb joke.
