We are changing to LED's at work and I do not like the light as well. Our break room is one of the first places and my eyes are not a comfortable in there. I do not know what color or tone or the proper term is off hand that they are.

Is possible. Some are glaring, some not. The Cree's are nicest, yet the most costly, IME. Go figure!
I yanked some halogen's which would not barely keep my plants alive in some spotlights and put in LED's. The plants love them. Perking up and growing now. Work with dimmer as well.
Oh! I still like the Halogens at the bedside. They will sort it out soon, I know.

I just got a new aquarium here a month or three ago - I have live plants - guess what was recommended for growing plants? Yup you guessed it. Incredibly, it has a night mode called moon glow or something that gives a very light blue glow at night. It's really cool.

Interestingly enough - the pet store sells fish that are treated to GLOW under said moon light. It's freaking crazy!! It's like being in a 80's nightclub (right Glen lol!!).

Poor fish!

Well - at least it isn't reminiscent of the 70's lol.

I'm a big fan of Fenix flashlights been using them without a single issue for the last 8 years, so I just awarded myself an upgrade a new TK22 920 lumens with three other lower modes plus a tatical strobe mode and stainlees steel bezel.

Very nice!! Congrats!

Fenix really does have a great name out there. What I really like about yours is that forward switch.

I started dear hunting last year and wanted a good light for wandering around the woods in the dark. This one filled the bill. It's super bright when I need it and dim when I want to conserve its rechargeable battery. I would have considered the Fenix if I had heard of it but I'm still very happy with the one I got.

Very cool - Never had or held a SOG flashlight, but they sure look cool .
