I like the Philips LEDs. I hope to see the higher watt bulbs keep coming down in price. But I also for cheaper LEDs in 3500k (bright white) color range instead of the yellower warm white.Kirstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000170723593048308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-32068624145819034182014-07-29T11:23:07.628-04:002014-07-29T11:23:07.628-04:00Need to do this!Need to do this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496951332111188404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-83817813435711319192014-07-24T23:21:24.236-04:002014-07-24T23:21:24.236-04:00I'd love to try them out.I'd love to try them out.tdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09199794368872469039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-41661855233992058242014-07-24T20:48:23.442-04:002014-07-24T20:48:23.442-04:00Currently using CFLs everywhere - but really want ...Currently using CFLs everywhere - but really want to make the switch to LED's especially because I have heard CFLs are a migraine trigger.

You tried the TW series full spectrum version of their 60 W bulb, which is more expensive.<br />It's unusual in that it has a high Color Rendering Index (93) so colors seem accurate, but it also has a warm color temperature of 2700K, which many people prefer to 5000K. I live in the Pacific Northwest and find FS bulbs essential for getting through the rainy winter, so to find a safe energy efficient LED bulb is worth the gradual investment. I can't wait for Cree to make a 100W version of this bulb.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366057000612327177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-55592701738351496122014-07-23T09:12:51.043-04:002014-07-23T09:12:51.043-04:00Thanks for the comparison of bulbs, plan on switch...Thanks for the comparison of bulbs, plan on switching soon, still have a few cfl to use.

Our local power company is offering an instant rebate at retailers making the bulbs about 30-40% cheaper than normal price. We've gotten some of the Cree bulbs at Home Depot and also gotten some multipacks at Costco. Some of the Costco ones have a delay of about a half second before turning on, which is kind of annoying. The Cree ones are better, but more expensive. So I could definitely use the HD gift card!ZozoRetrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814756385142193993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-5396435988609514672014-07-22T21:14:18.879-04:002014-07-22T21:14:18.879-04:00I've been stubborn about changing out our bulb...I've been stubborn about changing out our bulbs in the house.
