Which Type Of Lighting?

While lightings with yellow lights make the home look cosy and warm, I dislike the fact that it is dim and not bright enough for reading. My hubby recently changed the pendant lighting in our living room to blue fluorescent lights and our living room area is so much brighter now. I can even see clearer in blue fluorescent lights as opposed to yellow lights. With yellow lights, I have to squint my eyes when I read or work on the computer. What type of lightings do you prefer?
