LED's can be any colour temperature

There are warm white, daylight etc
Some LEDs let you switch between 3200K and 5600K


That is correct about the fixed color ones. Those shifting ones are really expensive though and are not flicker free. They use PWM to vary how much different colored LED's contribute to overall color by switching them at high frequency.
yup but that's like complaining that your TV or computer monitor or tablet or phone flickers. The frequency is high enough that it wont matter

anyway the switching ones are for specific use, not really for downlighters.


I hate my flickering cellphone screen :| I really hate downlighters except for task and work areas. I love hanging lights and uplighters for the diffuse glow they give.
I'm surprised you actually like electricity! I'm impressed! I always thought you were a kerosene lamp kinda guy :lol:

The clapper sold me on the concept.

Ordered a set of these for outdoors:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RMK05Y2
they are REAL bright...
FWIW they go all the way down to 2700k in color for those who prefer the kerosene lamp :lol:
and i ordered this previous to finding those:
http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-PA ... 003QPHK5E/
these are ricer white/5000k and contain a few LEDs as opposed to the single one on the first one. The first one is better though...

I think after shipping/duties/VAT a bulb came up to around $140

Still to actually mount them in their actual positions :oops:

Will try these on my next order. Two out of the 10 that I bought started flickering after a month.
