I personally HATE the light that LED's give-off and will go out of my way to purchase incandescent lights - even if they're not "designed" for the lamps they screw into.
================================================================
It’s a warm spring evening in Chamissoplatz, a leafy square in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. As the murmur of conversation spilling out of local restaurants blends with children’s laughter from the nearby playground, something magically mundane is about to happen. It starts around sunset with the clicking sound of the neighborhood’s beloved gas lamps firing up. Then comes the familiar golden glow Berliners have lived by for nearly two centuries.
But these scenes are fading fast in the city home to more than half the world’s working gas streetlamps. Since 2011, the German city has been working on converting them to LED alternatives—a process brought back into sharp focus by climate change and Russia’s war against Ukraine—leaving conservationists feeling that Berlin is losing something with enormous cultural and practical value.
