# Product Recommendations

Hard preferences and rules for presenting product recommendations. Violating any of these wastes the user's time and forces corrections.

## Format

- **Always include link + price** for every product listed. The user explicitly requested this.
- **No wide markdown tables.** Pipe tables with 4+ columns or long URLs break on mobile Telegram. Use compact list format:
  ```
  **N) Product Name** — key specs on one line
  → **$price** · [Platform](url)
  ```
- **Compact, scannable.** One product per block, no fluff between items.

## Ranking Rules

When choosing between products or ordering a list, apply in this order:

1. **More reviews first** (social proof)
2. **Higher star rating second**
3. **Price as final tiebreaker**

The user stated: "preference higher + more raitings is better."

## LED / Lighting Preferences

### Hard Rules (NEVER violate)

- **NEVER recommend warm white LEDs.** Only cool white (5000K–6500K). This is an absolute exclusion, not a soft preference.
- **When the user asks for LED, do NOT show halogen or warm white options in the list.** The user said: "When I ask for LED do not show halogen, you can mention only if you think there is some reason I would prefer them."

### Soft Preferences

- **Brighter is better.** Among LED options, prefer higher lumen/watt output.
- **Cool white (6000K) is the default.** The user stated this explicitly.

### Exception

Halogen/warm may be mentioned ONLY as a single inline caveat if there is a specific technical reason it would genuinely be a better fit (e.g., CAN-bus error, known LED incompatibility, reflector housing designed for halogen filament placement). Even then, flag it clearly — never list it as a peer option.

## Default Shopping Platform

- **walmart.com** is the user's preferred shopping platform. Default searches there unless the user specifies otherwise.

## Pitfalls

- **Listing halogen when user asked for LED**: The user corrected this explicitly. LED-only unless there's a technical reason halogen is better, and even then it's a caveat, not a peer option.
- **Omitting price or link**: The user said "always provide links and price." Every product entry must have both.
- **Using wide tables**: Breaks on Telegram mobile. Compact list format only.
- **Recommending warm white**: Hard exclusion. The user said "I NEVER want warm white leds."
