My whole house is full of warm Hue bulbs. The handful of Hue lights that are color temperature-adjustable are all set to warm because blue-tinted lights drive me nuts. That said, I use Wirecutter's budget SAD lamp pick set to the bluest setting and maximum brightness for about 20 minutes per day to help me cope with this particularly gloomy Seattle season, and it definitely seems to help. So you may not need to rewire your entire house.
Oh, interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience.
YMMV, but something I discovered is that light colors bother me when they're out of sync with my day-night rhythms. So mine start very warm in color, very gradually shift to pretty cool color temperatures as we approach noon, and then get warmer again into the evening.
My theory is that this gets me what the SAD lights are simulating without any manual effort, and it seems to be working. It also helps me with maintaining a regular sleep schedule in that it turns out I'm not a responsible light-switch user; it's easy for me to leave lights on and be active so late that I then have trouble getting up on time.
Yeah, I've thought about trying the Adaptive Lighting feature, as Apple calls it in the Home app with my compatible Hue lights, but only a small fraction of my Hue lights support changing color temperature, and having a mish-mash of blue and yellow lights scattered around my house just makes me angry :)
If/when I ever have reason to redo all of the lights in my house, I'll definitely go with all bulbs that support at least different color temperatures if not a full range of colors and give this a whirl.
