LED lights have been rebranded as a cozy lighting option, which I still don't understand.

Once reserved for gamer dens and nightclubs, Gen Z is using LED light strips as a versatile, personalized, and highly attractive cost-effective lighting design.
I have always associated LED light strips with my childhood bedroom. As a decorator, I prefer multiple individual light sources that guide the eye around the room, rather than long strips that blanket the space with dim light.
Smart lights are great at controlling color temperature, but bright RGB colors can be garish and uninviting. But as Gen Z grows older, I think RGB color may find its place in elevated spaces as this generation leans into serotonin-boosting décor.
