At the price one or two LEDs are all I am likely to spring for. 

 

However….I think instead of donating cans of food I think I might put a CFB in the box.  They have been going for $1 each around here.  Same as a can of Tuna pretty much.  Many people do not yet use them. It would help them out and their electric bill and the carbon.

Have you tried these?  Trying to read with "regular" LED lights as illumination gives me a splitting headache in short order.  Are these different?

 

Standard fluorescents make me feel like it's three in the morning and I ought to be in bed. Too much time under them puts me in a terrible mood and can bring on headaches.

"Daylight" fluorescents are a lot better -- at least some of them are, I haven't tried them all; but did find some I can use at home. I haven't tried LED's except in a flashlight, which is a different situation and doesn't let me judge whether I could stand them for general lighting.

People's reactions to types of light vary drastically. Giving these as gifts is a good idea; but unless you already know the tolerance of the particular people I'd give one or two bulbs per household, with a note suggesting they try them and let you know whether they'd like to have more. Or, if there are various types, you could make up a gift box with one or two bulbs each of each type.
