Why are the super hot ones, not so bright?

Just replaced all of my recessed lights with led retrofit lights so cool. No heat, and they seem brighter? What’s the verdict?
Thanks

The hot ones are dumb. There is just a simple twisted gut connecting the input and the output and nothing much else. The cool ones have brainy circuities embedded that cost you. For the short-term, always go for the hot ones.

The 'hot ones' have a much warmer color (no pun intended).
Incandescent typically runs around 2700 kelvin, and LEDs from 3000-6000 (much bluer).
I like the warmer lights for dimmed diffuse lighting.
I've yet to find a warm LED that dims well, and doesn't have some flicker artifacts.

Find those with yellow strands; they are more like the hot ones. Even cheap ones on the desk allow you to change from cold white to warm yellow if you press the right buttons. And I'm talking about women.

In answer to the original title, so when we fuck their brains out, there's not much of a loss & we feel less guilty.

Long.run leds are.more efficient and less of environmental foot print. If you are living in the place or 20 years you pass on the efficiency. Makes you feel want even if the light is cold?
