LED bulbs are the worst thing. They use less energy but are just awful compared to incandescent light. I've seriously considered switching to candles or oil lamps for home at night.
- jedberg 8y agoI got the C by GE bulbs. They are great. You can adjust their temperature all the way down to 1800K (which is why I got them) and you can dim them, all via bluetooth, so they can go into any socket. I put them in the bathrooms so that we can have an almost candlelight experience when going pee in the middle of the night. I also got a bunch of night lights from Costco that can also do 1800K. Basically, I replaced all the nighttime lighting in my house with 1800K LED, and try to avoid white light after the kids go to bed. It's made a world of difference.
- pmyteh 8y agoIf you find them that problematic, stick with halogen lamps. There's no shortage of supply, they're slightly more efficient than plain tungsten filaments and they give better light. FWIW if you're looking for nice non-electric evening lights I'd recommend gas over candles. Some nice camping lanterns that put out a lovely light. Cripplingly inefficient, though.
