Opinions best CFL or LED bulbs

Posted: Sep 13, 07 12:03pm

I've been gradually changing to more energy efficient lighting in my apartment. Have several CFL bulbs installed and an LED flood in a hallway. My main reluctance in using the CFL bulbs is that the "light quality" bothers me. They tend to be on the bluish side of the spectrum. Incandescent bulbs have a certain "warmth" that I guess I'm too used to (I realize that compared to sunlight, incandescent bulbs are very yellow-orange). Anyone have suggestions for particular brands with light quality that they prefer?

Yep I had this problem too when I changed all the bulbs in my house in one fell swoop. The room I couldn't stand was the kitchen... felt like I couldn't see what I was cooking! So eventually, I had to switch some of the lights back to regular bulbs (reading lights, bathroom, and kitchen).
