re: Can Lights - New Construction and LED Question

I just built and had 88 6" cans and went all LED. The thing with LEDs and any light is the CRI value of the bulb if color accuracy matters. A standard incandescent bulb has a 100 value. Most of the LEDs have a 80 value (also CFLs). What that does it washes out the color of everything. I personally dont like it...I like the look of incandescent bulbs. There are some high CRI bulbs that score 93 and looks pretty much like a incandescent bulb. I went with the Feit enhanced LED bulbs BR40 16w and love them! I have run them for almost a year now and only replaced one so far. I got them from earthled.com and paid 5 bucks to cover all the bulbs for 5 years.
