LED light bulbs are generally a more energy-efficient and long-lasting alternative to traditional incandescent light bulbs, however, there are some drawbacks. One disadvantage is that LEDs often emit more blue light than incandescent light bulbs, which are more on the red end of the spectrum and the bulbs can overheat if exposed to too much heat, and may not be compatible with dimmers. Furthermore, LED bulbs tend to be more expensive to purchase upfront than traditional incandescent light bulbs, though they will pay for themselves over time through energy savings. Finally, LED lamps may increase the blue hazard and color shift due to aging and overdriving.
