For CRYING OUT LOUD – they need armrests that can be put down when you are sitting next to someone who is a stranger to you. It makes it so that you are basically sitting in a loveseat shaped space with someone you don’t know!!!!

I also remember how hard and unyielding they seemed to be as I tried to slide over them to a window seat and got my hip joints too low and too soon. Ow!So removed arm rests instead of making them fold up ?

That's in part due to the smaller element area, compared to an incandescent. I've not seen Amtrak seat lighting in the LED era, but I've seen it on busses in Europe. If you're on a tablet of some sort, it'll be a bit of a challenge.

The soft-white (2400-3000K) LED bulbs do a good job of mimicking an incandescent bulb, while the cool white and daylight ones (5000-7000K) don't.
