I'm confused - most LED will not make you feel great (unlike incandescent light) - on the contrary, you have to put in a lot of effort to get decent light from LEDs.

There is a little to no consumer market for quality stuff (ppl buy based on price, maybe lm/W, maybe CRI95+).

You'll see great LED installations at:

- offices & commercial buildings, where it was designed by an engineer

- medical, where identifying things like skin-tone is critical

- transportation (often street lights), where it's optimised for night-time contrast

I think the implied meaning was "how to make LED lighting feel great".
