Reminds me, I had been fiddling with CCT using the limited consumer
market choices over the past ten years, and finally found some
fragment of data (sorry, no reference) that pointed out cool white
should be used where overall illumination is substantial and people
need to be able to discern colour differences, and warm white should
be used where the overall illumination is minimal.

I've also noticed that cool white is more likely to wake me, or keep
me awake.

So I've gone for "warm" in sleeping and entertainment areas, and
"cold" in the gastronomical and electronics engineering labs.
