Why is that? I have a storage locker full of regular bulbs and many
CFL's that I am not going to use. I go get an appropriate LED instead.
In some places I like using the dimmable "Daylight" color temperature.
Great in the garages, etc. They are harder to find though. Most are the
cooler "soft white".

The problem with dimming LEDs and even CFL is they do not change color
and the color shift is the biggest part of the ambience of dimming
them.
My wife is having that problem at work too. They have about 50 PAR38s
in the dining room ant at dinner time they want bright white. After
dinner they want that orange glow of a dimmed incandescent for
dancing..


We don't do much dancing in the house, garage or shed. :-)


I have CFLs or T-8 Fluorescent in the garage and the sheds but the
lights around the pool are incandescent (15w sign bulbs) and we dim
them most of the time. We dance there ;-)
Most of the lights in and around the house are on motion detectors so
lighting is pretty much lost in the noise on our electric bill.
