I've perused this forum for years and used it for purchase advice often (thank you everyone!). First time post.
I'm trying to better understand the effect of light quality on depth perception (and perhaps comfort and eye strain). For instance, for lighting crossings in a road junction or lighting a bikeway - what qualities are important for people to be able to see obstructions clearly?
Seemingly Cool/Blueish is worst and Warm/Redish the best? But a warm 2200k with low R9 or R10 might not be so good?
Some bikeways in The Netherlands are lit w/ a slight greenish tint and this is surprisingly comfortable on eyes and seemingly provides good depth perception but being close to blue this shouldn't be?
Thanks,
