Stockpiling incadescent bulbs instead of spending time doing research to find LED bulbs with a better light spectrum?

LEDs tend to give off a good range over the visible light spectrum. Incandescents tend to bias towards the higher end of the spectrum (towards red).

Agreed that some research can also help find a good light. There are plenty of "full spectrum" light solutions out there which may work for the original poster.

Compare Incandescents (A) vs LED (D) at https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Emission-spectra-of-diff...

As an example for high-CRI LED lighting components, I'll mention Yuji.

I replaced all of the frequently used lights in my house with LEDs. Now I actually have a stockpile of incandescent bulbs for things like the closets, laundry, and guest rooms where those lights may be on for less than a minute a day.

I bought a bunch of 25w bulbs for my lava lamp :)
