Are there any non-shitty high lumen LED light bulbs that dont cast a sickly, dim, blue-ish light?
. I need something roughly equivalent to medium edison baseA19 style, with about similar light as a standard 100 watt incandescent. ? thanks. |

Cree. You can buy them at Home Depot. They have daylight, bright white and soft white. Daylight is good for your garage or shop. They are very bright. Bright white is good for bathrooms and kitchens and reading. Soft white is good for other living areas. It is similar in color to incadescent. |
| I bought a LED bulb from Lowes to go in a can light in my living room. There are two can lights in the living room and one has a CFL bulb and the other is a LED bulb. The LED bulb comes on instantly and is very bright. It is a nice warm light with no bluish color. I think it was $20 at Lowes. Since my CFL bulbs all work fine, I'll continue using them but as they burn out, I'll probably begin replacing them with the LED bulbs. Hopefully in the next couple of years the LEDs will come down some more (most likely will). |

I've bought 3 packs of these with great results. Softer yet bright light that doesn't burn your retinas like some of the others will. Wife even approves!
These are the burn your eyeballs kind and I ordered some of them at first. I have to use them in something that has a fairly thick diffuser to reduce the harshness of the light. I replaced some of my CFLs in areas that get flipped on/off a lot and are where my wife leaves lights on a lot while home with our 2 yr old. Seeing a marked improvement on our power bill since doing them. |

If the bulbs are $7- $30 a piece and a normal 60w bulb can be had for .50. and lasts for 1+ year whats the incentive? Is there really going to be a dramatic drop in my electric bill? Is there a site that can map out the savings based ona full conversion and usage? |

Part of the reason to switch is that starting today, companies can't make 40w or 60w incandescent light bulbs any more, so they're going to be harder and harder to find. If you have to switch bulbs to a new type when the ones you're using burn out, you might as well get the ones that last the longest for the best price. ETA: link to article about no more light bulbs |
