First thing that you want to be careful about when picking a replacement LED light bulb is its color spectrum. White LEDs are still a work in progress, and engineers are still seeking a cost compromise when producing a desirable, soft-white light bulbs or warm-white light bulbs. Some people don't like, or can not adjust to the cooler white, so if you are one of such people, be sure to look specifically for soft-white LED bulbs.
The type of warmth of a white LED light is usually denoted by the "color temperature", where 3000 K would stand for a warm white light, 4000 K would be cool or ice white light, and 5000-6000 K would be the standard daylight white light.
