> I wanna buy LED bulbs for the energy efficiency but it's so hard to find one that doesn't emit so much blue light

I have a similar hatred of cool-blue lighting, at least in the home - but you should know it's very straightforward to find LED bulbs that look good these days. Just pay attention to the "temperature" - it will look like "3000k" or "4000k" on the box. Lower is warmer - 2400k is pretty identical to incandescent, though I go for 3000k. Some makers will label them "soft white" vs "daylight" or "warm white" - as far as I know, there's not much of a standard on those terms, but I can assure you that anything "daylight" or "bright white" will be blueish. Hope this helps!




Some LED fixtures have a color temperature switch which changes the "warmth" of the light. Intended to be set on installation, but could be changed later if you want.


Great tip, thank you!
