LED’s as close to incandescent colour

Comet Sunlights are the ones that everyone raves about - beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

No. There is no LED that is like an incandescent. If you want vintage colour use a vintage bulb.

Just trying to get away from 555’s in this Fish Tales light board. It had a burnt plug and pins due to the amount of bulbs on each string.
I agree with Neil - nothing replaces the look and feel (and heat and power characteristics!) of incandescent bulbs, but comet’s warm white are a pretty good compromise. Personally I couldn’t give a monkeys about incandescents, except maybe flashers as LEDs haven’t yet superseded them, so I really prefer the sunlight white LED colour because it is very neutral and you see the actual colour of the insert plastics when this shines through them, not a heavily warmed/orange version like you do with an incandescent. I opt for frosted domes, they disperse the light a bit better.
