I'm still looking for an ideal LED bulb for use everywhere. I've mostly settled on Hyperikon. My desired specs:

  * A19 base
  * 2700K
  * 7-11W (at typical efficiencies, not sure about lumens)
  * dimmable with very high dynamic range (fully dimmed should be just barely lit)
  * good color rendering (high CRI / R9)
  * good PSU design for long life
  * flicker free under all circumstances
  * cheapish (< $10/bulb)
The irony is that there is a deep flashlight enthusiast community that focus on all of these specs (except maybe the high dynamic range), but when you look for A19 bulbs, they're all just using whatever is at Home Depot. :/
