My only experience with LED are the harsh white lights you get on bike lamps, but can you get "warm" light alternatives? Can any LED light be used in any mount, or do I need to decide on what LED I want to use before I buy the housing?

Also where in Dublin could I get a directional mount like this one? Would be handy if I wanted to point the light against the wall etc.
