Anyhow, the main thing missing is which are more energy efficient.



Is this still the most popular way to produce white light from an LED? The other method, and I believe is more efficient, is to combine RGB LEDs into a single package that gives the illusion of white light.

I replaced 4 year old 3000k FEIT bulbs with new 5000k FEIT bulbs

I still have the 5000k CREE bulbs

I don’t care one bit about any marginal difference in efficiency between the 3000k and 5000k bulbs. I was just happy to get rid of the dingy yellow light from the 3000k bulbs. In both cases the LEDs replaced incandescent.
