Wife was initially complaining about them being "too white". I made them more yellowish by chewing their settings and ended up going back to daylight, which is the temperature she likes most. I like better the pure white because helps me seeing colors better. On top of that, my house electricity bill also went down after I replaced all incandescent and fluorescent by LEDs. |

All you LED losers should go in the LED buttsecks room.
You are poor. I get it and heat of that soft incandescent glow really hurts your sensitive skin. Quality light over cheap LED fake photons. Everyone has opinions just like assholes. |

In the rest of the house (dining room, living room, hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms), I prefer 2700k - kind of an incandescent glow. It just "feels" right, probably because that's what I grew up with. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Subnet: The "bug" with many LED lights, is actually my favorite feature - the ability to have 5500-6500K light when and where I want it. In my case, I prefer all of my kitchen and garage/shop lighting to approximate daylight. Middle of the day, not a cloud in the sky, daylight. It's a place where I REALLY want to be able to see, with lots of detail. It's bright in there. In the rest of the house (dining room, living room, hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms), I prefer 2700k - kind of an incandescent glow. It just "feels" right, probably because that's what I grew up with. You nailed my mix and reasons, and I love being able to adjust it all to suit. |

I opened a Shitty Lyte Beer for the poors too. https://i.postimg.cc/W1b62XsK/IMG-2197.jpg This is a bizarre thing to obsess over, IMHO. I'm glad you enjoy the quality of your lighting, though. I guess.

So are LEDs. So is the electricity to operate either one of them. Even if every bulb in your house is an "energy inefficient" incandescent bulb, I can almost promise that it's not even 20% of your monthly energy costs. Having a preference for either one isn't a flex. It's a fuckin' preference, and it's not that remarkable.

We're putting in a couple dozen new LED wafer lights from ARB. They're programmable to follow a circadian light cycle. Bright white in the daytime, and a warmer more amber color starts taking over at sunset. Those middle of the night sleep upsets are going to be a lot kinder on the eyes. I love the .lux feature on my computer monitor, it'll be much like that. Can't really do that with incandescent. |

I have about 100 GE 40 watt bulbs in the attic. When the damn spiral bulbs came out my local Walmart clearanced GE 4 bulb packs for $1.
I bought two shopping carts full. I hated those damn garish spiral bulbs. I went through all the 60, 75, and 100 watt bulbs, but then LED's came out and I use those now, so the 40 watt are just collecting dust. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JimEb: Nostalgia Incandescent were desirable back when all the LED bulbs sucked. They wouldn’t work if cold (like outdoor lighting), emitted EMF that would interfere with radio signals like garage door openers, etc. But now LEDs rock. OP is welcome to have at all the old bulbs. This. Power costs keep going up, the last thing I want are more energy suckers. |

Hoarding incandescent bulbs made sense for a short while when the only real replacement was those terrible, squiggly CFL bulbs. Now that high quality LED bulbs are common and cheap, I don’t understand why you would use a standard incandescent light.

4 100 watt incandescent lightbulbs in a room put out around 1361 BTU's of heat per hour so if used in the winter, while they cost more as far as light goes, it does get made up somewhat by their heat output.
In the summer though, it's more heat your A/C has to transfer outside. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fadedsun: LEDs are better in every way. Why? More efficient Run cooler Use less juice Variety of shades and colors Stupid mindset. If they are so much better in every way, why ban incandescent? Shouldn’t everyone want the LED’s? Shouldn’t the market take care of this? LED’s don’t put out heat. Some people need incandescent for the heat. I ordered a pallet of incandescent ones before the stupid ban. This shit is costing me money. |

Yep. It's the great thing about LEDs. We can adjust based on preference and tasks. I don't see myself going back to incandescent or fluorescent. |

I like incandescent. Much softer. Easier on the eyes. Much nicer to look at too.
Seems to light better too. LED makes a bright spot with a hard edge and I can't see anything outside of that bright spot. The soft spill from incandescent lights up a road, or room, better. LED lighting looks terrible in photos and on video. LED has ruined photography / videography. |
