Things to Know
SHAPE
LED bulbs are now available for almost any purpose. Spotlight-style bulbs, chandelier-shaped bulbs, three-way bulbs, smart and color-changing models, Edison-style and LED strip lights are all on the market, plus many more!
DIMMING
Many LED bulbs are dimmable, unlike early LEDs and the vast majority of compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs). Make sure to buy dimmers compatible with LEDs and verify the LEDs you are buying are labeled "dimmable".
COLOR
The early LEDs often shed a cold, bright-white light. Newer LED bulbs are branded as "soft white" or "warm white" and glow just like an old-fashioned incandescent. Look for a color temperature of 2,700 - 4,000 Kelvin.
There are a wide range of LED temperatures
