> Granted, we used 4100k lights which are much bluer than 2700k.

You had this realization and yet still went the route of switching back to all incandescents?

It's trivially-easy to find 2700K LED bulbs. The ones I have look just as good as the old incandescent. And despite the article making it sound like you need a PhD to sort it out, you don't: most medium-end 60W-equivalent, 2700K LED bulbs look good and are easily available in any hardware store.

The article says that even 2700k leds have a blue light spike (albeit smaller than the 4100ks) since the led source is blue light.

Also, maybe it just in my head, but I think the light from incandescents/halogens look nicer than leds... it feels more natural.
