Please log in for more thread options My first couple of LED lightbulbs were bought from ccrane. Price was not as
good as you can find elsewhere.. but my biggest complaint with the LED lights is the color hue. Ccrane has lowered prices... some. The vivid lights that I bought have a very "COLD" blue tint. The best comparision is the hue of a "cold" flourescent light. I found the color to be very harsh and hard too look at. But then that is my personal preference. The good news is you can get the lights in both 120V and 12V models. So for people wishing to run cabins, outhouses, etc off solar lights -- the LED bulbs would be a really good choice. Also I found that the actual power comsumption claims might be correct -- but I don't believe the equivalent light output is very accurate. But that may also a result of my seeing cold blue light as not as bright as warm yellow light... I'd rate a 15W LED light as only producing the equivalent of a 10W incandescent light... I have not done any real light meter readings... so again it might simply be my bias against the cold blue tint.... | |||||||||||||
