Reply #22: Color temperature?

[DirkGently]

I'm fascinated by LEDs, and they are clearly where lighting is going for a number of reasons (energy efficiency, life, non-toxic). But I had to give up on a set of dimmable LEDs I got for the bedroom (in a fixture with no shade) because the light they put out was such a sickly shade. Ditto the "warm" LED rope light I got for the porch -- ice cold. As others have pointed out, getting hung up on the cost of a superior new technology misses the point -- economies of scale and improved manufacturing techniques, etc. will take care of that.

But ugly light is tough to deal with. We need tint research, pronto.
