Answer
To use LED accent lighting in a living room without eye strain, start with warm ambient light between two thousand seven hundred and three thousand kelvin at low outputs of ten to twenty percent. Layer this with dimmable LED accents to create soft, comfortable illumination. Avoid saturated RGB light flooding the room as it causes headaches. Instead, focus on using high-CRI, flicker-free LEDs for showcasing collectibles inside glass-front cabinets or focused niches angled at about thirty degrees to preserve true colors and reduce visual fatigue. This layered approach delivers inviting, strain-free lighting.
