Sounds like a plan.
The comparison between the two basic choices invites all opinions of those caring to weigh in and while bashing has gone on a bit, it's most definitely been on both sides and yours is one of the worst type, suggesting that everyone who disagrees with you is a sophomoric fanboy.I'm with Lux, I miss the days when the mods would keep the incan bashing LED fanboys and their drive by posts out of this forum.

Your preferences towards incandescent lighting is 100% valid, but for you to suggest that anyone, like myself, who has a general preference towards LED's from a pragmatic and practical position, but still loves incandescents, is a fanboy is unnecessarily antagonistic and is fully trolling in content, particularly when you could have posted in a less abusive manner.
You love your incans and I'm glad to hear support for them still - how about acknowledging that we all have the right to like what we like.
This thread is about incandescent and how they compare with LED's - there are no fanboys coming in here to rain on the parade and the term itself would be best left out of the thread, particularly in the interest of mutual respect for fellow CPF'ers. Let's talk about lights now and quit trying to exclude members from the thread.You are reading too much into my posts, and putting words in my mouth. Yes I like incans. I also have and use LED's. I prefer incans. Now, I challenge you to search the LED forum and find me posting over there saying that incans are superior to LED's..............you won't find it. I don't go over there and do drive by posting saying incans are superior to LED's - it is my opinion only, so I leave well alone. I just wish LED fanboys would so the incan forum the same respect.
my friend gave me a custom HID, He told me it's smallest in the world. Love it so much .
I'm not responding here to support either, as I use both and my opinion as to which I prefer is irrelevant to this post. I think the OP can lead to those who may prefer LED's to say why they may prefer those over incan's.I'm with Lux, I miss the days when the mods would keep the incan bashing LED fanboys and their drive by posts out of this forum.
Incandescent lights are just so darn pleasant. My dream LED is one that replicates good incandescent light. Or direct sunlight. Not the weird 6500K "daylight" that looks nothing like daylight to me. More like moonlight.
Now there are a bunch of ~3000-4000K LEDs who very much remind of incandescent.
For most flashlight owners, except when the batteries are new, they are highly unlikely to see 3000K very often. There are regulated incandescents, but they are not the normal experience. There is no incandescent at over 3400K except where the bulb has been filtered in which case it really isn't an incandescent spectrum any more.
That was about 10 years ago and it was how they actually started pushing CFL's on us. Back at the time LED lighting was still not ready for prime time yet. I told everyone at work that within 10 years we'd have LED bulbs that were much better than CFL lighting as soon as A) Price came down, B) Output went up and C) Tints got close enough to incan for people to accept them. I was wrong about it taking 10 years as most of my friends had mostly converted to LED bulbs in their homes and businesses by 2015....I also learned that the government is out to do away with incandescent lighting. It seems that Leds are being forced on us if we want any kind of light.
That's why my 3500k lights are my absolute favorites. Reasonably warm, but white enough to use as an everyday tool.I think you are right. Compared to incandescent side-by-side 4000K LED is noticeable cooler. Still I really get incandescent reminding feeling with 4000K. Warm white LED is so much closer to incandescent than a cool white LED is to warm white LED.
