@rplst8 posted:I have yet to find an LED bulb ("warm-white", "2700K" or otherwise) for the lamps and light fixtures that comes anywhere near the quality of light from a standard incandescent soft-white GE bulb of yore.For trains, the power savings is definitely a bonus - however I wish the manufacturers would avoid the cool-white LEDs. They do not look good at all IMO, especially when mixed with incandescent bulbs.
My feelings as well. There has been a lot written about how manufacturers have spent untold millions trying to obtain an incandescent look with LEDs. They've made progress, but they're not there yet. I've had a number of instances around the house where I went from LED back to incandescent for the warmer look. Some folks can't tell the difference, probably, but it's something that's very noticable to me. I can't stand walking into a motel room and seeing that they've installed harsh white bulbs in the light fixtures. Talk about uninviting. I probably need to carry my own lightbulbs when I travel. 
Many is the time when I've looked at modern harsh, blinding white headlights on newer locomotives and wished for a warmer, more inviting tint. I've even taken a yellow, water soluble marker and tinted up the lens on some engines in an effort to warm up headlights. They're a bit less obnoxious now (using a warmer white LED, I guess) than they were when LEDs first started being used in engines. Those harsh blue white lights were awful.
