LEDs as such do tend to be approaching a point source and directional. The
'lens' on them may modify this.

To get a large even globe, you'd need a lot of them and a diffusing outer.

I've not seen any that look just like opaque globe tungsten - they tend to
have more of a hot spot. Tungsten of that type likely have a very long
filament which is why they are more delicate than GLS.

You can get them in globes. Although TBH I prefer the cheaper corn on
the cob types if I want something approximating omnidirectional.
