Why can't I convince people LED lightbulbs are inferior without being accused of regressive chuddism?

Like if we could just get the sort of illumination that older kinds of bulbs could provide I'd be fine with them but there's something about the way LED bulbs cast light that makes everything feel dark in a way no matter how bright the room is.

Why is it that white CFLs that noticeably flicker still produce better light than LEDs?

Most people have no subjective experience. When talking to normies if you think of them as an LLM AI things make a lot more sense. Their training data tells them that LED is good, and they have no experiences of their own.

It's schizo behavior
LEDs aren't perfect but to pretend there is such a massive difference is horseshit.

If you could actually perceive such differences to such a degree, you could be gainfully employed doing anything that requires color grading. unfortunately most of you are neets or working shitty jobs at best.

Some LED bulbs have selectable color temperature have you tried those?

Sounds like you're buying the wrong color temperature. Too high of s color temperature (>6000K) will make your room look like a hospital operating room, and too low (<3000K) will make it look like a shady restaurant.

I want to spend 20x the initial price on a product that fails after 2 weeks and makes everything and everyone it illuminates look like some makeup artist intern's first practice project

LED contrarianism is one of the little things that blackpilled me. For 99% of the last decade I basically forgot that changing burned out light bulbs was a thing because my LEDs last forever. The only time I remember that dark past is when one of these threads come up.

I have an old desk lamp that I put an LED in and it died a few weeks ago, and I wondered how an LED can die. I then realized I'd been using the same LED bulb every day and night for hours over the last 8 or so years, so it did pretty good with that punishment since I'd forgotten I'd been using an LED for that many years.
Meanwhile my garage at the same time still used incandescent and I was changing the bulbs every 8-12 months depending on how much I was out there.

I wish I could still get incandescent though, I have another old lamp but it buzzes and flickers with LEDs and I can't find any stores that still sell the wattage of incandescent it accepts.

I use LEDs for smart features, that's mainly it.

It's just some good old (heh):

They still suck at dimming largely, or are obscenely expensive or have shit color if they don't. Especially relevant because all new bulbs are overdriven like mad for planned obsolescence. 50 year thermal design life should be mandated by law.

Also major brands selling (((high CRI))) bulbs with giant fuckugly red spike to troll CRI tests.

I know what you're talking about, but that's only the case for the old or shitty LEDs.

Either you're buying some shitty poop bulbs, or perhaps you're so focused on getting the the incandescent-like "warm" lighting you are getting only half of the visible spectrum. Get yourself some neutral white (3500) bulbs from a reputable manufacturer, make sure it has no flickering and a decent color spectrum, and enjoy, those feel right and work right, and nobody has any problem with those.

It's only the "warm" LED bulbs that feel wrong, because they only emit the amber waveband like a sodium lamp, the ones that look like sunlight white are perfectly fine.

That's just shitty mid-market brands like Philips. 2700k is actually better if you go with cheap contractor supply companies like PLT or Archipeligo.

CRI tests don't mean shit when you get above ~80. Sodium spike over here >>105762297 is a 95 CRI bulb.

No one ever gets the rated hours per bulb.
They flicker and die more quickly than incandescent bulbs
