So will I, dimmed incandescents give soft light, dimmed LEDs do not.But, I'll stick with my traditional incandescents
ignoring the stull made in factories without effective quality control,until LED technology is standardised / proved reliable / proved safe / cheap enough!
LED technology in the LED element is reliable and safe and dropping in price,
the technology used to provide the controlled current through the element(s) is the weak point and will remain so until some form of standardisation in terminology is created and the industry conforms to it.
