Believe it’s because blue light makes it harder on the eyes where as yellow light make it easier to see. That’s why yellow is used on the edge of steps etc. Unfortunately incandescent and halogen household bulbs are nigh on impossible to find these days.

I wasn't going to contribute to this discussion but you've tipped me over the edge John! LED's flicker (or at least some do) and I find them a dreadful strain on my eyesight. I have a soft LED batten light in my workshop and I have no issues with that, but certain household bulbs reduce movement to something like stop motion animation and that's pretty awful. I have the same trouble with car lights, when you scan the road quickly the scene breaks down into a shower of images which is most confusing and hardly what you want when trying to read an emergency situation. I was followed down the A1 last week by a lorry whose lights were picked up by the cat's eyes hundreds of yards ahead, creating hundreds of points of light as I scanned the road. I'm sure it's not just me?
