Answer

Avoid eye strain from LED accent lights by starting with warm ambient lighting at two thousand seven hundred to three thousand kelvin set low, around ten to twenty percent brightness. Use high-CRI, flicker-free LEDs to ensure accurate colors and reduce visual fatigue. Limit saturated RGB colors and keep their brightness low with dimmers. Place accent lights carefully at thirty-degree angles and avoid overpowering glare or color washes in rooms. Layering ambient and accent lighting thoughtfully creates comfortable, inviting spaces where you and your guests can relax without headaches or discomfort.
