[AT] LED lights

[Dan Glass]

I looked at Lowe's this morning at leds and not only are they $20 for an 
100w equivalent they color temperature is no higher than 3000 degrees.  
I use CFL's now that are 5000 degrees and the light is much more 
pleasant and easier for me to see with and I can evaluate colors better 
with them.  I buy the CFL's are Walmart for about $3 each and the life 
is about 9 years.  Until they can raise the color temperature on led's I 
am not going to get them even if they are giving them away and use no 
electricity at all.
