- alwayslikethis 3y agoWarm LEDs are a thing. You can buy 2700K CCT LEDs with 90CRI just fine
- hulitu 3y ago.. and pay 10 times more.
- eszed 3y agoNah. The last time I bought bulbs - from Costco, three-ish years ago, when we moved - they were (I think) $2 apiece. They were more expensive than that the previous time I bought bulbs - ten-ish years ago - but I still have most of those, still working after all this time. I don't think those were 10x incandescents, but even if they were they've long-since paid for themselves in energy savings. LED bulbs are great. They weren't before 2010 or so, when they couldn't color-match incandescents, but both that and the price issue are solved problems.
- Ekaros 3y agoHad to buy single E14 for my range hood. First one was pack of 3 of 40W equivalent for 2€. And then later in shop for 3x of 2700K and 400K each of 60W equivalents for 5€. Less than 1€ a bulb, that is not too much more than standard indecent bulbs... You can get them cheap enough from deals.
