Changing bulbs to LED question.

I bought some G5 LED bulbs for a floor standing uplighter from Aliexpress 2 years ago.
They were cheap so I had little confidence in the longevity or much else.
I was tired of continually replacing the halogen bulbs it came with.
Two years on they still provide a nice colour temperature and none have failed.
There is an LED store (there are probably many) on Ali that sells the same stuff that you might find on Amazon but a lot cheaper.
Last time I looked they had all Edison screw sizes and G series in various outputs and colour temperatures, spot fittings in various cutoff angles.
If you don't mind waiting a month for your order to arrive it is a money saving option.
Branded gear such as Osram and Philips is surely the best but my eyes cannot distinguish any difference in a given colour temperature.

Best thing with luminaires containing multiple fittings operated by a remote is managing the colour temperature.
Guests who don't seem to want to leave your cosy house? Give them some 5000K to wake them up a little.

Light sensitivity and the flickering of LED lights are both known effects.

Some are worse than others. I bough a load off fleabay which were quite unpleasant and really did seem to flicker. I chucked them out, but all the LEDs in the house, and I think I've replaced every incandescent bulb now, are all absolutely fine

It's the colour of the light, too blue, and the flickering that can cause the light sensitivity and headache's.
