Which LED color strip light is good for eyes?

[The Day Dreamer]

I am thinking of getting a strip to put behind the monitor and table for ergonomics n also it looks nice.

Which color is good for eyes?

Warm white is good for the eyes. Not reddish warm but just slightly warmer than "pure white", i.e. close to daylight.

Anywhere from about 3500K to 4500K, probably.

5000-5500K will be closer to daylight, but may seem too blue, at night, even with a ~6500K monitor backlight.

Common cheap CFLs you find at the store tend to be 2700-3500K.

If you want it to look really nice (like in a housing, diffused, for area lighting, not just a rush job), I'd say to spend for a strip that is rated for >=80 CRI minimum, too (making it as good as, or better than, your typical CFLs) (high-end example that's basically as good as LEDs can get). If you're using it just to have some ambient light in the dark, not to use like a lamp, don't worry about CRI at all.
