Do you prefer clear or coated LED bulbs? « on: August 19, 2026, 06:02:21 AM » Author: Lightingeye60
I honestly prefer coated LED bulbs, but which ones do you prefer?

Do you like clear snow cone LEDs, coated filament LEDs, clear filament LEDs, or frosted snow cone LEDs the best?

I prefer LED filament lamps both clear and coated. LED filament lamps seems to have longer life than snow cone LED lamps. Also coated LED filament lamps, have less glare than clear LED filament lamps.

I prefer clear LED filament bulbs for open applications and coated ones for enclosed fixtures. However, some open fixtures look good with coated lamps.

If the light fixture has clear glassware, then I use clear LEDs plus it makes them sparkle. Everything else gets the usual frosted bulbs.

Clear 5000K filament bulbs most of the time. Where possible, I prefer the ST19 shape as well.
