So I got both me LED strips running in my kitchen but the light it’s emitting makes all my food look super red. haha.
Is there a “proper” setting to use color wise to have a light that would resemble the neon light that I had in there prior which did not seem to distort the color of anything it lights up?
Right now I’m just using one of the proposed colors on the WLED color ring.
that’s warm white. has a lot of red in it
Would you recommend a color?
On a side note, every time I cut power to strip, it looses my segment settings. Any ideas?
Can’t recommend a colour setting - I’m Red-Green challenged (ask my wife).
One thing I like to do is turn on the Hex colour input and RGB sliders in Config->User Interface.
Lets you see the amount of each R,G,B pixel, you’re using.
As far as the last settings, save them in a preset first.
I’d just use the color temperature slider until things look good, hopefully very close to other nearby lights in your house.
If you touch that slider it will yank the current color away from wherever it is, you do not have to pick white first.
In my experience, there’s a very small usable range before it gets too blue or too red. YMMV.
RGB LEDs are not good overall lighting, they’re nice for effects but while you can make “white” it’s poor quality white because everything in the spectrum between red/green/blue is missing.
There are RGBW strips that have a dedicated white LED that’s better, but if you just wanted white light to replace another light fixture and not effects high CRI white-only FCOB strip is way better.
