While I understand their popularity and appreciate the far lower energy consumption, a part of me still wants incandescent bulbs back. They had a warm, inviting glow that’s entirely missing from LEDs
As the other commenter said, there are bulbs that mimic the filament of an incandescent bulb. On top of that there are designs that go beyond that. E.g. I have a bulb that has LEDs shine light through sculpted plexiglass, creating a beautiful pattern of warm light inside the bulb. This goes beyond what an incandescent bulb can do.
I don't think incandescent was ever banned. They just have to meet a certain efficiency, and they are working on photon recycling incandescent builds that actually beat LEDs I think.
