I have Halogen lighting in the kitchen and the light is very good.

Obviously no problem with a dimmer as they are incandescent.

I see they now have LED replacements but a friend said the lighting
spectrum of the LED's is no where as good and can even cause depression.

I guess for the couple more $$$ I may spend on energy, I should keep them.

I posted a new thread a couple weeks ago about the Philips Warm Glow LEDs.
They are the only ones I've ever seen that dim to what I consider to be
acceptable lighting for most areas. All the others you get a cold,
fluorescent light when they dim. With these you get an orange glow,
very similar to an incandescent. I've looked at them side by side and
you can't tell it's an LED. They come in various form factors, from
recessed retrofit to ordinary bulb type. They are the only ones I'd
use for an occupied area that you want dimmed.

Cool, I will have to look at these.
