re: Are LED bulbs really worth the investment?

I sell led

You want something between 2700k and 3000k color temperature, anyone who is saying daylight is crazy.

Don't buy them online, at Home Depot or lowe's or from some start up led company. Go talk to a professional at a lighting/electrical supply and talk to them about what kind of look you want, what you want your dimming capabilities to be, etc.

Buying from the right guys ensures that you have a place to return them in case of defect or warranty issues, it ensures you get the right thing the first time, and ensures that you will be buying a reputable brand who stands behind their product.
