Unwanted LED bulbs

nrishiraj

Hi

I recently got an electrician to install spotlights in my new home. I was ignoreant of the types of LED bulbs that exist i.e. cool white, warm white etc..Now that these bulbs are in, my Mrs says she gets a bad headache from the lights and she finds these LED cool white bulbs cold and prefers the white warm ones.

This means, I've got about 20 LED Cool white Bulbs that I don't need. I can try to sell them on ebay, gumtree etc..

Does anyone have any ideas on how I make full use led bulbs that I don't need? can I put them into a torch? use them in a cabinet etc.. ?

Thanks

They'll probably go on ebay if they are decent ones - using them elsewhere is probably difficult as they are likely to be at least 12v ones (if not 240v) which means a lot of batteries in a torch. The other possibility is to use them in certain rooms - for example if you have a kitchen that gets a lot of daylight the chances are you won't find a daylight balanced bulb (i.e. a cool one) a problem when you turn the lights on in winter and are "working". They tend to be more problematic in say a lounge where you want it warm and cosy.

Huh! Where are you based, nrishiraj? I have found myself in exactly the opposite situation: I have some warm white LED spotlight bulbs that I really want to switch to cool white! Feel free to PM me?
