Then I'm glad I only play at home for the amusement of Jane Feline, because I dislike LED lights. Granted, they're way better than fluorescent bulbs, which grossly distort colors and come with a maddening hum supplied free of charge. Unfortunately, the LED lights distort color, too, although not as badly; and I find that in a long practice session, LEDs give me eyestrain.
(I write that even though I use the newer, quieter fluorescent bulbs all over the house in order to save energy, do the right thing for the planet and all that. I've got an LED light in my miner's head lamp for walking at night. LEDs really do represent progress. However, it's progress that's still in progress -- and I draw the line at my music stand.)
I'm waiting for manufacturers to figure out that they could solve the worst of the problems with both fluorescents and LEDs by casing them in pale amber glass instead of white glass.
