My collection room is lit almost exclusively with track lighting:
I have 3 tracks like the one on the left below, and I plan to add a 4th soon:
These things use a lot of energy, they don't last very long, and they make the room really HOT!!!
I would like to make the switch to LED's and I would like any input or suggestions that may apply.
I think the track-light halogen style LED's that you can find at Menards or Home Depot are not nearly as bright as a regular halogen, and the white is very cool. I would like to get some LED bulbs/lamps that are as bright as my halogens and more warm in tone.
Right now, this looks like my best bet:

I have the GU10 style.^^^
Here is a demo of "pure white" vs. "warm white":
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YoE_amGqWc&feature=related"]YouTube - LED Bulbs - Warm White vs Pure White part 2 of 2[/ame]
The "warm white" looks about like halogen or incandescent in tone.
The ones I need are $16.95 per bulb from this seller: https://leddistributors.3dcartstores.com/led_bulbs.html
Here is another seller: https://www.ledtronics.com/Products/ProductsDetails.aspx?WP=M507K906
No idea why they're more than twice the price here.
Anyway, any comments or suggestions? Has anyone had experience with making this switch?
Thanks!
