Anyone have there LED light bulbs? [http://www.goldengadgets.com/led-lights/led-light-bulbs/led-flood-lights/l-a3w-dome-3-x-1-watt-led-flood-light.html](http://www.goldengadgets.com/led-lights/led-light-bulbs/led-flood-lights/l-a3w-dome-3-x-1-watt-led-flood-light.html) I figure they make flashlights everywhere with LEDs now, because they last forever, and use hardly any wattage. So I want to put these throughout my apartment, seeing as there only a little more than the energy saver bulbs. ---

IDK how theyd work inside of a decent sized room as they seem to aim more towards direct lighting of an area or object, plus id be worried about how intense the light is…TO white of a light is really hard on the eyes over time and will probably cause headaches id stick with the energy efficient shits, softer lighting, and they provide more diffusion. ---

Its a fairly small room, like 15x15 I think. Let me know how they are. I know my eyes would really start to bug me being in such a white light. Maybe they are not that bad thou. ---

It says equivalent of 40W incandescent, you might need like 4 or more led bulbs to light the room well. ---

They make “natural” light LEDs so it depends on what they used. ---

So after reading further into this, the consensus is that the LEDs are a more focused light, perfect for a desk light or similar. But out of curiosity I am still going to order a few of those, just to see. My current light in the room is a single bulb fixture with a 60w incandescent, so two of these should be comparable. I have a feeling they wil end up in my reading light, and I will just buy the normal energy saver lights. :lol Edit: > [@Truck rental?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/truck-rental/29274/2): > > they sell LED arrays mounted on the same plugs as normal bulbs. u can just buy em in bulk too.
