Since February when we installed the ceiling lighting in the family room we have been living with a mix of light bulbs. We had some incandescent bulbs, some florescent and a few LEDs. We knew we wanted to invest in LED bulbs for this room but they aren't cheap and we wanted to make sure we picked a bulb we liked. Not all LEDs are created equal. Even though we bought all of them in soft white some LEDs still create bluish light and some make a very faint buzzing noise that drove us crazy.
We finally decided on a Phillips bulb and waited for them to go on sale. Andy found them at a Home Depot so I stopped on my way to work and picked them up. For those of you considering the purchase online and pick-up at the store options from Lowe's and Home Depot let me be the first to tell you Don't Bother! We tried this twice on items that had limited stock. Both times it would been faster and much less hassle if I had just gone and gotten them off the shelf myself. The items either weren't pulled and ready for pickup or the order had been pulled but they couldn't find it.
Despite the time it took us to make a final decision and the hassle with picking up the bulbs, we are very happy with the new lights!
