Do you prefer LED or Incandescent lightbulbs?

[Alex Hogendorp]

I have a feeling there is something off about LED's in my opinion.

Oh it gets worse. The BMWs with those fucking abominations where they have a fucking laser that's used to excite a phosphor diode, which then throws off "fuck other drivers, they don't need to see ever again" levels of brightness.

The worst I've ever seen was a motorcycle that had the literal sun for a headlight. At least it looked like the sun. I dunno what the fuck it was. It was a bright, glowing yellow ball that was like staring at the sun. Even in daylight it was blinding. It was like looking at a 1500w high pressure sodium light or something. I've never seen a headlight so bright in all my life.

I prefer LED bulbs, they're much safer than glass incandescent bulbs in that they won't shatter and injure the rectum.

LED bulbs always die after about 2 weeks in my house, never had this problem with incandescent bulbs

I can attest to this.

I had some LED Christmas lights and I didn't like the atmosphere so I switched back to incandescent fairy lights, much cozier.

I've decorated 2 Christmas trees this year for Halloween. The ones on the floor are LED, almost too bright to look at, possibly because my eyes are pale. I've made it work by using a single 150 bulb strand over a 7ft tree and tucked some of it behind some tinsel. For my smaller 5ft tree I've used some incandescent lights that were my grandmother's and I really like the softness.

Interesting. Most incandescent Christmas lights I had die after 2 weeks with a few lasting a year but still showing signs of dying. The LED Fairly Lights I had lasted for almost 2 and a half years before it ultimately died. Then again, I bought many LED fairly lights that fucking died before I even bought them.

LED's are pretty bright. Though LED's can replicate the atmosphere of Incandescent light bulbs by retaining the warm color of the Iridescent ones. But most LED lights people chose are often giving the feeling of coldness. The aerial photo between East Berlin and West Berlin at night shows the contrast.

I like how they use much less power, I thought you can string together 100 strands of Christmas lights or some crazy high number but the brightness of it can be off putting

LEDs are superior in just about every capacity. If you dislike the cold/sterile white or blues which I also frankly dislike there are models with warm colors to replicate ye olde glow. You can also always replace glass for fixtures with colored/stained/tinted/frosted glass though this sometimes is easier said then done depending on the fixture.
