Hey all,
I'm about to start work installing pot/ceiling lights in my living room, and I'm in a quandary as to which way to go. I love the idea of low-power, run-forever LEDs, but I'm just love the look of the few halogen pots that I already have in other areas of the house.
I did search for info on this sub-forum but can't find anything recent.... so, a few questions:
1) Can I get the same rich, warm look as halogens with LEDs? If so, any recommendations on brands or sources?
2) I did buy a few cheap retrofits from Amazon - they were advertised as 3K temp, but they look noticeably whiter than the existing halogens. Maybe they're just a whole lot brighter and would calm down with a dimmer?
3) I only want to do this once, so I'm putting a lot of thought and worry into it.
Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason
