This post reads awfully whiny to me. Who cares if the new bulb that's 90% more energy efficient than your old incandescent is not exactly the same color as the totally unnatural electric light you grew up with? Sure, there are some niche areas like the gallery mentioned, where the color and evenness of the light is quite important to display a work of art properly, but the bulb in your downstairs toilet not being yellow enough is not something to get worked up over.
This is as vapid and facile an argument as petrol heads complaining that electric cars don't sound right.
And even if you are… I use Wi-Fi smart bulbs that cost less than $10 each, full then as well as a white temperature adjustable from an extreme warm orange to piercing blue. 90+ CRI too.
