As far as color, 2700 Kelvin is about the highest you want to go, if you want it to "feel" like incandescent. Technically, an incandescent is about 2500 Kelvin. You will see ads that claim 3000 is soft or warm white, but the reality is, they still have a blue hue and are bit stark, much like florescent. One other issue is that any time you dim an LED, it will turn more blue, the darker it goes.
Dave,
If I want a very White (bright) light for reading what is needed? From my limited experience the high Kelvin number 5,000 + seem to give me a better reading light.
Thanks for the insight on Kelvin.
