Is that why the LED lights I purchase as a replacement for an Edison type incandescent light bulb is such a crappy replacement?

Or is that because the energy level of the particles are lower or because of the wavelength is more narrow in spectrum?

IIRC, incandescent light bulbs generate photons over a wide range of frequencies, but LED are more narrow.

This is a similar issue to the difference between fluorescent bulbs and incandescent bulbs.

Define "crappy".
