Yes, except for IKEA LED bulbs, which are cheap but terrible (low CRI, huge latency to switch one)


Hard disagree. IKEA LED lights are excellent. Maybe some early models were bad, but so were CFL back then too. Current IKEA LEDs are reasonably high CRI and are available with low lumens options. It’s often difficult to find a quality LED bulb that isn’t super bright.

(By the way IKEA was almost single handedly responsible for the rapid plummeting of the cost of LED lights. They invested early and drove up volume before anyone else.)


In the more distant past I found this to be true, but recent LED bulb purchases from Ikea have convinced me they've solved the earlier problems. Their LED bulbs are now great performers with fair prices.
