For private homes it's probably healthier -- in terms of day/night 
rhythm and anything related to that -- to use the more yellowish stuff.

On the other hand, for work places where good old daylight isn't 
sufficiently available for one reason or another, bright blueish 
illumination is kind of a must. But they've mostly been using 
fluorescent lamps for ages anyway.
