I know the bulbs are brighter, last longer, etc.

Am I the only one who prefers the warmer and less brighter incandescent
bulbs, at least for indoor use?

We picked up a set of the LED lights this year, Sylvania brand,
"Stay-lit", described as being "warm white", but they are anything but
warm white, especially compared to our existing incandescent strings.

The Sylvania Stay-lit lights have a nice 5 year guarantee.

We have a large flagstone year round covered patio, a bar, kitchen, TV
area etc and we used quite a few strings of those LED lights around
the perimeter of the peaked roof cover and wrapped around all of the
perimeter vertical support posts. It's been a couple of years and so
far there are no defective LEDs and it is lit every night from dusk
until about midnight.
