Some of the cheaper brands will hum and interfere with electronics, They also don't hold up well.
LED's can be had in different variations of light and color, 2700k gives off a yellow glow like soft white incondesants, 4000k is a bright white, 5000k is day light moving into the blue spectrum and 6000k very bright with a fair amount of blue.

Satco is a good brand of LED bulbs, Phillips is another.
