I hate LED lights, but it is from an aesthetics perspective; the light is cold looking. Prefer the warmth of yellow-hued lighting, which is why I also hate fluorescent.

Some LED bulbs produce warm light. The ones with a 2700 temperature rating are indistinguishable from incandescent. The same goes for fluorescent.

Only the cheap type LED. Good LED will provide a better range of light spectrum than most other choices. The ones in the stadium of this article actually use sensors to adjust the color spectrum as the light through the semi-clear top changes.

LED lighting comes in other color temps than cold harsh white. And RGB LEDs can be any color you want them to be.
