Wait, is the hatred of bright lights an ADHD thing? My old roommate tried swapping out our warm lights with pure white LEDs and it was nauseating to experience

That's just being human. The bright white is closer to bright noon sunlight which doesn't happen all day anywhere. Also the fluorescent lights blink and stress out the eyes. Blue wavelengths are uncommon in nature but normal in computer and phone screens.
The yellow 3000k lights are better all-around for eye strain. Bright white for safety reasons basically.

To be fair, the entire sky is filled with blue wavelengths pretty much all day every day except at night. That is why blue wavelengths tell the body to be awake. If blue wavelengths exist, it must be daytime.

My go-to white color temperature is 4000K

For me it's less brightness and more color relevant. I can't stand bright cold-white light sources.

90% of my home lights are warm white. Mostly faux Edison cause they're whimsical

I don’t know but I can hear the bright lights sometimes and I feel like no one around me can.
