Its the difference between the harshest, cheapest, 4' fluorescent lightfixture hanging over a workbench in an auto shop and the warm, inviting, slightly golden glow of a bedside lamp*.
*Somewhat overstated for dramatic effect - but you get the idea. so use warm for romantic effect & the other for a worklike atmosphere... |

Speaking of led lights. My 2015 179 has all led. They are bright. They also have 2 flat led sets in each light. Is there any way to switch on just I side. The doubles are actually to bright!

You would have to get a double-throw switch to replace the existing switch, with some minor rewiring in the fixture.

A note about "warm white". As I mentioned in the Salem-mod thread, if you aren't careful when you search for "warm white", you may get 4000k coloring and not 3000k. I ended up not minding the 4000k color but if you want the same color as the original incandescents then you want 3000k.

The newest pods, including all 179's, have a different style fixture, with the LEDs as a native instal. You cannot swap them out the way the older pods do. There have been many comments about how bright the factory LEDs are. The answer that seems to make people the happiest is to frost the inside of the lens. |
