Kitchen island lighting - warm or cool?

[Mr Blobby]

Instead of the standard pendants over the kitchen Island with easily changeable GU10 bulbs, we are instead installing a single rectangular LED bar.

 

This has to be ordered yesterday but first we need to decide bulb colour because it will probably be difficult to change in future.

 

The plan is to have 3000k lights almost everywhere else, so some warmth to the colour, but is 300k too warm for task lighting over the hob on the island, where 4000k may be better to see if my baked beans are boiling?  

Never had an island before and we have a combination of bulbs over the broken hob in our current rental pad.

What do people on here like to have over the hob?  3000k or whiter?

We have 3 of these at 1800k each, plus 6 spots behind at 4000k (3 in background of picture)

 

The 3 bulbs are adequate for us. I think 3000k strip LED would be fine

For me 4000K is the ideal temperature, everywhere.

 

But above all, be consistent - that is, all lights in a room that will be turned on at the same time should be the same temperature, otherwise they just look odd. So if you like 3000K, stick to it.

We have a single pendants above the island and dining table, 4 floor lamps and 2 wall Anglepoise.

Bit of chaos but it works for us.

3000K seems just right.

Fitted with a Philips 14W 2700/2500/2200K which works off the wall switch.

Can you find a LED with adjustable temperatures?

Brightness is also a consideration. 

As @Mike consistency throughout the room if possible.
