Maybe it's not the right kind of white light. I know that LEDs have pretty low spread (they only cover 10's of nm in wavelength) and in order to assemble a good white light you have to have the right number and intensity of LEDs to produce the consumer-friendly color.
- fishercs 17y agoI believe the actual problem with LED's is the fact that lowering voltage output to an LED doesn't make the light dim. I remember reading an article about this somewhere, it was a little over my head but a pretty interesting read if someone has the link available.
- MaysonL 17y agoThe $5-10 bulbs on Amazon are by no means replacements for 60W incandescents - they seem to be 1-3W LEDs, which would only be 10-20W replacements at best.
