@breezinup posted:As I referred to previously, LEDs still can't compare to incandescent bulbs for warmth...Below are an incandescent bulb and a 2,700 degree K LED, side-by-side (same wattage)
Color temperature is color temperature. It does not matter what is generating the light. A 2,700 K LED and an incandescent bulb rated at 2,700K will emit the exact same color of light.
In your example you aren't necessarily comparing apples to apples. The incandescent lamp may be rated at something other than 2,700K. Incandescent bulbs are available in color temperatures ranging from 2,700K up to 3,400K. The only incandescent lamps I've ever seen with specific color temperate ratings were those rated at 3,200K for indoor "tungsten" setting photography. Lamps sold for home use had no specific color temperature spec and could be all over the map between 2,700K and 3,400K.
