Is anyone else interested in incandescent because of the lack of blue spectrum that is even in warm LEDs?

LEDBE
According to the title I can handle the bluish white light from the fenix EO1. I just don't like it intense. The incandescent light from both my 1aaa brinkmanns is more pleasant and they are plenty bright in a dark room and outside also when the dollar general across the road goes almost dark. I like using them to cook by also. I like the warm glow of an incan. I can't handle the warm spectrum leds though. That light just bothers me and I have tried to like it. Something is just missing....
 
Leukos, if I got hateful with you I apologize. I'm invested you could say in incans and although I do have leds flashlights I want my chosen incans to remain that way. I don't want to convert them when my bulbs burn out and I can't get anymore and I know why that is coming. But anyway that is still in the future and I'm in the present. So for now I want to enjoy what I have been allowed to have.

You know, there are some folks here waaay more invested than me. I bet they feel the same way, but stay quiet for fear of offending someone. They need to vent sometimes though.
 
Many problems come into these Incand section threads about why many of us prefer incands in a number of scenarios from “LED Jockeys” enumerating why LED’s are better in every way.

Rather than promoting their preference in the LED section, they impose their skewed viewpoint of LED superiority where they are not wanted.

For example, I roast my own green coffee beans, and have yet to find any of my 25+ LED lights that render an accurate color to determine when to start cooling cycle.

Things become “political” when other Holier than thou” start telling us and justifying why incands were forced into obsolescence. Same with low flow toilets, shower head flow restrictors, EV mandates, attempted cancellation of natural gas stovetop and hot water heaters, and many other things that ecoterrorists shove down our throats.
 
When I was a kid (1970's) my parents put a gallon jug in the toilet tank to save on water. They weren't eco terrorists, they were just saving water. Our water pressure sucked so low use shower heads provided a sense of better pressure, again while saving water. Turn lights off when you leave the room and all that.

My dad used flourescents instead of incans not because he was an eco terrorist but because they lasted longer and used less power while providing brighter light. Later cfl's replaced his bulbs, after that LED bulbs.

Should the gubment dictate what light bulb we use? Probably not but to refer to those who simply desire to be good stewards of the planet they live on while saving a few dollars as eco terrorists and insert numerous profane words to accentuate the point is a sign of losing the debate. Once it becomes personal it's game over.

Every good debater is good at discussing both sides of an issue without personal attacks.

No problem if people choose what they want like your dad. The ecoterrorists are the ones using the global warming hoax to mandate by law people having to only be able to buy low volume toilets, banning incands, mandating shower head restrictors, ever increasing emission restrictions on gas engines, trying to mandate not using gas stoves or water heaters.

I have no idea where I used profanity, but if you want to make that up, have fun.

There are more blatant ecoterrorist protests and destroying property because they actually believe what the former President proclaimed: "global warming (changed to climate change when no warming happened for years) is the existential threat to humanity". Thank God we finally have a President who uses common sense and listens to the public.

If you want to buy an EV, no problem. Don't force others to buy one in a nonsensical attempt to save the planet. Ecoterrorism is very real and very evil. Scientists or public figures who questioned such reports were ostracized and fired from jobs.

The ones that engineered these changes are not being good stewards of the planet. They do nothing about the pollution and environmental damage to get their solar panels and lithium batteries from China. Using more energy if you want with incand light bulbs should be a choice, not a forced mandate. The USA has massive amounts of fossil fuel energy that should be used joyfully.

LEDs became popular about the time I was 18. As nostalgic as I am and accept teasing for a dozen boom pursuits like vinyl and 1911s, incandescent bulbs have never crossed my mind.

I grew up in a time when light bulbs were the norm. But overhead flourescent tube lights lit up offices and stores. You just got used to it.
Along came the LED. Some were so bad they made my red truck look pink or purple.

CPF was concieved by people who wanted more from a flashlight than the poltry output of a 3D Maglite. Super charged flashlights soon followed. An industry was born. Along came the LED and to this day some do not accept them as normal. Others see the filament bulb as a dinasaur and consider it a ridiculous technology much like a VHS tape or a rotary telephone.

Some accept changes and just go with it while others resist it and point out reasons why the old way is better. The great thing about a forum is either one has the ability to express their viewpoint.

Oh lord, don’t get me started on office fluorescents/LEDs. They genuinely make me feel like a bug. Took years for them to get the color balance close to acceptable and I still wear blue glasses at work.

I’m a little ashamed to admit that I tossed my 3D in the trash last year. As a utility tool, it just didn’t provide any additional value that couldn’t be done by a keychain LED. Regret it now that I’m playing with mods.
 
I have to conserve water because I have to go outside and get it in several milk jugs I have. No running water in the trailer and the trailer ain't worth fixing that. I hope I didn't call anyone here names. I always liked fluorescents. When I growing up my parents had two beside the mirror in the bathroom and also an incandescent that hung down from the ceiling. The way the woodgrain was the two fluorescent lights lit it up all white and purdy while that probably 40 watt bulb seemed anemic. Not knocking incandescent light bulbs. It just seems like (depending on the color of the room) that fluorescent light could do wonders. I also liked fluorescent lanterns. Never really liked the led ones much.

You tossed your 3d in the trash? Why didn't you tell me. I would have collected the garbage that week. 😁

You continue to miss the essential point. We don’t resist change, as I have at least 25 LED lights. What we resist is the heavy hand of ecoterrorists using government regulation and restrictions to promulgate their climate change hoax.

I’m all in favor of clean air and water and preservation of nature. What I object to is ecoterrorists running roughshod forcing others to follow their twisted beliefs. A recent extreme example of the damage they do are the Los Angeles fires—caused by lack of forestry and brush removal, as well as ridiculous water supply regulations. Like I said these ecoterrorists are truly evil and their actions cause unmitigated disasters and loss of human and animal life. They care nothing about the harm to birds and animals from their idiotic windmills.

As I said previously, there are certain things like the color of properly roasting my coffee beans that are not rendered properly by any of my LED lights.
