i just don't have that problem, but i always make sure i get 'warm' coloured ones. -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 13:55 8
- the contrast between that blue abomination and the incandescent in my bathroom is like going from winter to summer -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 30, 14:06 1
  - So don't get the "hot" temperature LEDs? You can get them in any colour tone. - Reagen Mar 30, 14:44
- I favor "daylight" LEDs and dislike the ones that put out a more yellow light. -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 14:00 5
  - Pippy fact: I refused to have any yellow lights in my home. none. -- nm - Pippy the Gifted Mar 30, 14:04 4
    - The soft white lights always seem dim to me and allow for shadows in ways "daylight" LEDs don't. - TWuG Mar 30, 14:09 3
      - I use the soft white. I just find the daylight ones to be too blue and harsh. The soft white matches the typical historical incandescent most - pmb Mar 30, 14:25 1
        
        I really dislike incandescent and fluorescent light. - TWuG Mar 30, 14:32
      - I agree to your last line -- nm - Pippy the Gifted Mar 30, 14:11
can't read the article but I dislike most dumb LED bulbs. The smart ones we have I can tune to the right color I want, etc. and I love them -- nm - oblique Mar 30, 13:46
