Ask HN: What's the best way to do lighting in 2016?

Of all the areas where project hacking has exploded lately, it seems that lighting might be the one with the most new (or at least novel) options.

I'm working on a school bus, but I think this question applies equally well to a stationary home or small office.

Here are some options I'm considering:

* Digital LED strips. But what kind of micro-controller solution? Something strong, like a Raspberry Pi? Or something power-saving, like a NodeMCU?

* Analog LED strips?

* A propriety solution like the Hue?

* "Traditional" LED bulbs?

And then what of the nuances - what's the best way to achieve suitable lighting but without too much workspace glare?
