When they're actually working...

However, seeing them in a box in a bright Home Depot gives you a sense of
how different they look compared with each other, but not how they'll
ultimately appear in situ. I bought a bunch of Cree (Home Depot brand) 60W
A19 LEDs at different color levels, plugged them in and returned the ones I
didn't like. That's how I settled on 2700K. I really thought I was going to
prefer 5000K (Daylight), but they were just blinding and cold when
installed.
