Me presented the following explanation :
My house is mostly lit by cfl lamps, apart from a couple of LEDs used as
bedside lights. I am thinking about switching to LEDs throughout. Is
this viable? Pros and cons? I would value your opinions.

Pros..
They come on instantly to full output, last considerably longer, cheaper
to run.

Cons..
None really, though some complain about the light spectrum.



I've completely swapped to LED over the last two years and no failures
yet. I took the opportunity of fitting (surface mount) LED panel lights
in the bathroom, kitchen and hallway which I've found give a nice even
spread of light.


As for the colour temperature of the LEDs its really down to personal
preference and you have to ignore those on here who preach that those
horrendous warm yellow bulbs of yesteryear are more natural because they
are the same colour as the candle chandelier they replaced You may
find that for close up working or reading if you are of a certain age
and/or don't have perfect eyesight then a colder blue or daylight type
temperature LED suits you better. Buy a couple different temperatures LEDs
and try them out.

Or buy the fancy leds that can be set to any color temp you like via
the app so you can have a different color temp when doing fine
work or reading and when doing other stuff like ****ing the slut etc.

Relegate the bulbs you don't like to somewhere that is used infrequently.
