I did the same for the lounge becuase I reckoned I should fit "warm" for recreational areas and "cold" for work areas - I also regret it. In hindsight, all I was doing was needlessly replicating a deficiency in tungsten bulb technology. However, I'm loathed to swap them all out now though becuase they are perfectly good bulbs
