I hated the light quality from early LEDs. But current ones seem a decent enough match to halogen, and with a fairly continuous spectrum. And also don't tend to lie so much about their output against halogen.

I had florries lighting the under cupboard worktops. Posh tubes with Osram dimming ballasts.
Now changed to dimming LED tubes.
The 6ft tri-phosphor florrie was 70w. The 6 ft LED tube, 32W.
What was the story at the end with those? You had to use a different driver?
The drivers they supplied were different from the ones on their site. Same price, but adjustable, rather than fixed current, as on their site. Measured the actual current when set to the correct one, and it was low. So moved it up to the next one. The two tubes now match.
you're free to educate yourself on the subject of lighting, or not.
