I have bought almost exclusively LED bulbs over the last 10-15 years. As a nerd, I always look fairly carefully at the specs, and I choose good ones. If, when I buy off-brand halogens one time without really looking into the technical details and it's like "Oh yeah, this is how artificial light is supposed to look", then that's a problem with LEDs, not with me not looking hard enough for good ones, because I look much harder than a typical consumer would.
