Eight years in my current home and only one bad LED bulb. I particularly like the ones that replaced the fluorescent tubes in my garage and bathrooms. For me, the “color” factor is a non starter. My only complaint is they don’t work as well with dimmers.

Lumens measure the brightness but Kelvin (a temperature scale) determines how “warm” or “cool” the light appears.

The LED wafer lamps I just purchased for a drop ceiling offer me 4-5 choices to "select" Kelvin...incandescent lights don't offer that flexibility.

I use LED light bulbs in the 5,000k 21 watt range equivalent to 150 watt incandescence bulb or 18 watt for 100 watt equivalent.
They hardly give off any heat which is great for the summertime.
I can use two 21 watt bulbs in my floor lamps that I put a splitter in to light up my rooms.

The LED bulbs last. I have only had 2 stop working and 2 more start to dim over the several years I have been using them. I can them turn on and off and they keep working where as the incandescence bulbs would have burned out and with a big pop! in a few months.
