Just noticed that the dining room uplighters have incandescents in them, so what's a good brand/source of standard BC LED "bulbs"? Might as well seize the chance to replace any others at the same time, since received wisdom now has it that it's actually worth throwing incandescents away and replacing them with LEDs now, even if the incandescents still work.
(visit trade.ledhut.co.uk and the prices are lower than the retail version)
The LED Filament lamps make good replacements in fittings that need the same pattern of light dispersion you get from a normal GLS lamp - i.e. plenty to the sides and even some toward the base)
and I will mention in just in case (apologies if I am preaching to the choir) - the higher the colour temperature the "colder" the light. So
3000 will seem more "white" that 2700 - not unlike say LV halogen. 3500
- 4000 is getting close to sunny daylight, and 6000+ is overcast daylight. The higher temperatures the higher the level of illumination required for it to look "right" to the eye (our eyes are tuned to see more daylight like lighting at very much higher levels of brightness - so dimmer light in those colours will look very blue).
So in my office for example two or three normal 60W lamps would make a decent level of brightness at 2700K. But with daylight LEDs I have the equivalent of 5 60W lamps, and that seems quite natural. It makes reading smaller text on paper seem a little more crisp.
