Right about then some do gooder "I'm going to save the world" person will do away with the LEDs just cuz they can. I used to change lights and rewire all the lights at the OSU campus so I know about the natural daylight balance lights, They used to be called Chroma 50s and were expensive. Side note I changed a light that was called a Ken-Rad light company light bulb and it looked really old so I asked about it and they told me that company was sold to GE and GE killed Ken-Rad because the bulbs lasted so long and were competion for GE bulbs. But it's all what you like and I for sure like the more warm light. There was a study that said blue light Is bad for you. See the study below is what they will use to ban blue spectrum lights once you get used to the LEDs and make you change to the bulbs from the company that just gave tons of money to their foundation or campaign. http://www.bluelightexposed.com/#bluelightexposed "Artificial sources of blue light include electronic devices such as cell phones and laptop computers, as well as energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs and LED lights. Why should we be concerned about blue light exposure? Blue light waves are the among the shortest, highest energy wavelengths in the visible light spectrum. Because they are shorter, these "Blue" or High Energy Visible (HEV) wavelengths flicker more easily than longer, weaker wavelengths. This kind of flickering creates a glare that can reduce visual contrast and affect sharpness and clarity. This flickering and glaring may be one of the reasons for eyestrain, headaches, physical and mental fatigue caused by many hours sitting in front of a computer screen or other electronic device. Our eyes' natural filters do not provide sufficient protection against blue light rays from the sun, let alone the blue light emanating from these devices or from blue light emitted from fluorescent-light tubes. Prolonged exposure to blue light may cause retinal damage and contribute to age-related macular degeneration, which can lead to loss of vision." [ Edited by: tikiskip 2018-12-14 09:20 ]
