I've been phasing in LED replacements for the 50-watt PAR20 halogens
in our pot lights.  (They consume about 7 watts for the same amount
of light, and don't get hellishly hot like the halogens.)  The 2700K
models (warm white) work pretty well.  At least until you dim them.
The newer ones will dim decently without flickering, but they don't
get redder like the halogens do.  This is a bit disconcerting,
especially if you have one of each on the same circuit.
