[QUOTE="mhphoto, post: 2083925, member: 6288"] Quality of the light spectrum emitted is my top concern. CFL bulbs have spikes on the spectrum. LEDs are slightly less spiky. We still see white light, but our brains know the difference between it and incandescent bulbs, which are pretty flat in their spectrums. So when our brains call shenanigans on fluorescent lights, that's why. I'll stick with halogens. True white spectrum, higher operating temp = higher color temp rating (more "pure" white than old, comparatively yellow-tinged incandescents. [/QUOTE]
