Household LED disappointment
Discussion
I've tried quite a few different LEDs for the house via ebay and have generally been pretty disappointed. My experience has been:
G9s tend to be too white, even the softer ones are a lot harsher than halogens. Dimmer too compared to 42w
ses E14 candles tend to be dull and too white
MR11 seem to be peachy in colour and a bit dim for the kitchen
All seem OK if you want white as white can be but they just seem to be too harsh
Are my expectatiions too high, or is ebay just for cheap Chinese ones? Are there any decent ones out there?
Advice appreciated thx.

To bring this up to date; I got some Philips CorePro LEDcandle 6W ES14s and they are so much better than the crap I had before.
This what I got

It's not a great picture but you can see the Philips on the left and the old 5w crap chinese led on the right. The reflection on the ceiling is the most telling aspect.
