I think the bulb versions of LEDs really do suck.

Like... I was used to the GE Reveal 100W Incandescent Bulbs. For comparison, the light bulbs with like a slight blue tint to them that just worked great.

I had them all over my house.

But then when I did my remodel, I put in can lights. LEDs.

And the can LEDs are really great.

They're bright, they're the right color, they give off plenty of consistent light. I went with 6" cans, and I used about 50% more than they said to use... so like on the box it said, "Use 4 for a room that's X by Y feet..." And I put in 6. No more than 1 every 8 feet, no less than 1 every 5 feet.

The cans have this little color toggle on the back, the only thing I wish I had done is I wish they were all wifi lights... so that I could use a different warmth after sundown.

But hey, that'll be my next house. (=

I think it's becoming more of an easy option for most contractors to set up.
