Fwiw, you should probably try out some of the newer, nicer LED bulbs - there's a good chance the sensory issues were caused by (near-)imperceptible flickering, which is much less common in newer hardware.

ETA: make sure they aren't hooked up to old-style dimmer switches, too. Even LEDs that say "dimmable" need an LED-compatible dimmer.

    If you look around you can find some reviewers who will get into the details on the spectrum coverage, CRI and similar indices, and flicker at different brightness levels.

    I think this might be the site I spent the most time on when I was last shopping for bulbs. I got a bunch of bulbs from IKEA of all places that work via zigbee and have really good light quality.
