"Lumen" is the thing that seems to be the standard for LED's. And, yes, the warm white ones have a lower lumen output. Personally, I really like the warm white colour. The "regular" white is a bit hard on my eyes...too much blue.

Agreed, lumens is used more often because it relates to total light output better than lux (which is more of a directional, one-spot measurement).

I think our little trailers are small enough that a lower light output (even 1/3 or 1/2 less than incandescent) emitter still produces plenty of light to see by. I find two places where I want more light: over the stove and over my book. So I left the incan bulb in over the stove, and I added a couple of directional LED reading lights in the places where I sit or recline.

Keep in mind, also, that you can turn on 6 or 8 LEDs in your trailer and probably draw less current than you would with one incan bulb. So in the rare instances when you want more light, you can easily get it.

What Mike said is very true. Under my kitchen counters at home I have one long strip of LED's. The light is absolutely shadowless.
