I love incandescent's, and although I love using LED's as well, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for them. Now the main reason I love to use incandescent's is their color rendition, things just looks so warm and natural when I use them, users already know this. But there's more to the story.
In this day and age we are swarmed with loads of high output, highly efficent LED's and each year incandescent's role slowly disappear's further into the abyss. A while back I was with a group of acquaintances, all who had LED's with them, meanwhile I had my Surefire G3 turbo, anyway as we were sitting there compairing light's a sense of pride came over me as I shined the warm beam of my G3 across the lake, knowing I was probably the only incan user for miles. There are so many people, especially non flashoholic people, that in this day and age, will never get to experience a high quality incandescent, mainly because of the leaps and bounds the LED market has made. My point being is this, I used to enjoy incandescent's mainly because of their distinct advatages over LED, but as more time passes and incandescent's fate slowly arrives due to advances in high CRI led's, I grow more and more prouder to be one of the few remaining incandescent user's. If there's 20 flashaholic's standing around, 18 out of 20 are probably going to be using LED's, it just basic facts and math. Look at the amount of threads and attention this incan forum gets here on CPF and compair it with the LED forum, it's no compairson. So it's in this sense, as each year goes by, and more and more people convert to LED, I realise how "proud" I am to be an incandescent user and fan. Disagree or call it stupid, it's just how I feel.
