LEDs use less energy than incandescent bulbs.
Higher initial cost than traditional bulbs.
Color Temperature
3500K-4100K is great for kitchens.
Measured in Kelvin (K), affects light color.
Cool light can feel harsh in some settings.
Dimmability
Check compatibility with dimmer switches.
Not all LED bulbs are dimmable.
Incompatible bulbs may flicker or hum.
