When did shopping for light bulbs become so confusing?

Is it just me, or has shopping for the right light bulb become rather confusing? For something that supposedly runs more energy efficient, the options and jargon on the box leave me scratching my head and spending way too much time (and energy) shopping for a bulb to light up my life, so to speak. Gone are the days of only having to choose what wattage is needed, now you have to consider light temperatures, watt conversions, volts and lumens. I recently installed two antique light fixtures over the prep table in our kitchen and I set out to find an LED bulb that didn’t look LED.
