My bad.. when I came back to my computer after writing a comment, my screen had gone completely white. when I tried to reset turned out that my contrast function has broken and I can now only see with the contrast and brightness turned all the way down. I suspect that when I viewed your page the contrast had already shifted too far for me to see the white bulb on white background. I checked from another computer and the website is fine.
Apologies Daniel

Like most technology, the first LED bulbs have been expensive and not great, but that is changing rapidly. The good news is that it is getting better all the time and the prices are dropping quickly too. There are choices out there with a warm light. Look for something in the 2700K range, like the two we carry at Rejuvenation.

Travis, you should not look like a vampire with with bulb, unless you are one and then I can’t help you.

Would like to see a better looking and warmer LED for a reasonable cost. (price of incandescent x extended life of LED bulb)

That’s the critical detail for most CF bulbs I’ve seen, some of which make us look like vampires. Thanks for your thoughtful explanation of light bulbs, complete with temperature!
