The problem with those Cree LEDs is that as they dim down to 15%-20% BUT they never change color. They get dimmer but their color temperature is the same whereas incandescents get cooler as the get dimmer.

I use these Phillips [Link: homedepot.com] where they have a 2-stage LED in there. At low levels they are a cool color temp and at high levels they move to about a 3000 kelvin.

They are the closest to incandescents as I've seen for coloring but they dimming is a little herky jerky.

The point of dimming is the end point, not the dimmer travel anyway.

I don't really care about how cool it looks on the way down, just being able to dim it low for cool affects. I agree Lowhz, changing color is important to get the look as they go lower.
