LED color is really important. When checking out LED bulbs, high blue level
(5000K+) demos great, because it's so bright, but when it comes to living
with them, not so much. They're cold and just blinding. I've settled on
2700K (known as Soft White) around my house and even my wife approves!

All that said, with LEDs you need to see it in place to really know.
