Also the colors are far more saturated and intense looking that incandescent.

Sorry for Necro-threading but I was just doing some catching up. I'm Really, really,really divided about LED fixtures.
< for one thing I hate that everyone calls them "Leads" like the metal as opposed to L.E.D.> My biggest issue is one dealing with the color. Now I remember the first time I saw a CMY mixing fixture, a Martin 500 I believe, and the color had a sort of "unnatural" "
electric" feel to it but it's a feel that has been accepted into the mainstream now. LED's seem, at least the ones I've seen/tested, to have a similar feel. It's really hard to put into words, it's sort of like the difference between a
Leko and a Laser, sure they both have a hard edge, but I wouldn't light with a laser it's wavelength is just goofy. Maybe that's what it is with me and LED fixtures, Maybe a purity of wavelength. Maybe My eyes are just so used to seeing everything through the warm glow of 32K, they just can't handle a new color temp. Anyway that my two cents.
