Bias lighting suggestions

D13H4RD

If you've followed me over the past couple of days, you'd realize I've given my room quite the makeover, from a new Samsung SHG50 144Hz monitor to a brand-new L-shaped office desk, everything is coming along nicely.

 

I do, however have some questions about bias lighting. Currently, my bias lighting setup looks like this,

I've gotten compliments about this setup, although it is in reality just an office desk lamp shining on drapes behind the display.

I don't think that's a bad solution, but the one thing which bugs me is the color temperature. It's quite warm at 2700K. That's fine for bed as it helps me to relax but when it comes to work, the warmer color temperature does make it a bit tiring at times due to its moody nature.

 

So I'm going to change it up, but I have a question; Which solution is better?

1) A set of 6500K LED strips that I attach to my monitor and plug into a USB port

2) A 6500K LED bulb with an E14 base for the desk lamp

You can get RGB strips that control via an USB or remote so you can set the color to whatever you want. Cold for work and Warm for movies :D 

They range from 15-50 Euros (150cm ones)

I may consider that but I’m aiming for 6500K
