Interesting that you should point this out because I converted my home to full ~5000K high-CRI fluorescent in 2003 and now ten years later, I am about a third of the way through replacing all fluorescent bulbs in my household with ~5000K LED bulbs.
I recently tackled the challenge of equipping an enclosed light fixture with an LED bulb. I ended up going with the Xledia D series A19 bulb. (Warning, Xledia is a Chinese company and I think they've hired a gray-hat SEO company to spam up Twitter and the like; but don't let that taint whatever merits they have in engineering.)
The D125 [1] is my favorite LED bulb to-date. My wife, an electrical engineer, was incredulous: "you bought a seventeen watt LED bulb??" It's quite astonishing to fire that beast up. 2000 lumens. And true to its spammy marketing ("the most efficient series of omni-directional LED bulbs suitable for fully enclosed fixtures"), its temperature management is impressive.
After hours of operation, its lens is merely warm, heatsink is hot but not flinch-inducing in the same manner a fully-warmed incandescent bulb would be.
