First of all welcome to the QB from SE Michigan. I am so glad you jumped right in and joined us. There is a wealth of information to be shared here and I am hopeful you will be part of this community. As far as LED goes I prefer the cool because I too think I get a much more accurate coloring when stitching. I also find it easier on my eyes. So much of this is personal choice or what is available for your machine. Again welcome to the QB.
