...A couple advantages I see. You can get them in 6500K Daylight color range.
To my eyes, that is definitely not an advantage. The "Daylight" LEDs in the 6000+ K range are too blue and get hard on the eyes after a while.

You might find the 6500k a bit too bright for your liking?
It's not that they are too bright, they are too blue. That's what makes it seem too "bright" and tires the eyes.

Jim Barrett did a Backshop about LED Lighting in Run 311. I produced this image for him to use as the lead photo in the column:

If you want to duplicate the inviting, warm glow of an incandescent lamp, you need LEDs in the 2,700 to 3,000 K range.
