The telltale I’ve most noticed is the “instant off” property of the LEDs. Incandescent bulbs fade out. Quickly, but not instantly. The difference is noticeable.

Some fade can be built in, as it is for fluorescents and cathode ray tubes.

If you are seeking “white” light, you might want to use some fluorescent chemicals to spread the spectrum. That might tend to smear the timing as well.
