Are these lights Soft white (2700 Kelvin) or warm white (300 Kelvin)? Some reviewes said they are not warm white at all?!

A 3000k color temperature in an LED is a whiter light than an incandescent with the same color temperature. The difference is the CRI (Google it). These LEDs have a CRI of 75. LEDs with a CRI of 80 to 85 at 3000k will appear warmer to the human eye at the same color temperature. Incandescent lights generally have a CRI of 95 or higher. Warm white florescent lights typically have a CRI in the 85 to 90 range. White LEDs with a CRI of 85 are hard-to-find and expensive.

They are "warm" which is a misnomer because 3000 Kelvin isn't a yellow "warm" light but a more white light... Not quite flourescent.. but definitely not warm. All the LED bulbs use this warm/soft terminology which is very poor and misleading. "Soft" is 2700 kelvin which is warmer (although still not as warm as incandescent.)

On the lighting facts label look for the K number (Kelvins, which means color temperature). These are 2700K...a warm-white which is the "yellow" look you mention. The higher the number, the whiter and less "yellow"the light gets. 5000K, for example, is very, very white, almost blue-white.

These are a nice bright white light. I don't think they are a soft white. We use them inside a machine to brighten the work area. They work very good.

Warm white is more like an incandescent lamp, slightly yellowish. I'm no expert, but I have another LED with 2700K; it's slightly yellow. The lamp in question is not at all yellowish, nor is it as blueish-white as the fluorescent tubes I have as my main ceiling lights near this one.

I don't see the kelvin # on this package, it may be on the back, does any one know? Light Bulbs are rated for Color Temperature, measured in kelvins. In my kitchen I prefer a `daylight' white light at about 5000 to 5200 kelvins. You'll notice the difference immediately if you mix bulbs in a multi-light fixture; one very white bulb makes the yellow ones seem REALLY yellow! Here's a webpage with an explanation and chart.http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page/001/CTGY/ColorTemp

No, not warm. Stark white. You would think the bulb manufacturers would put this information on their packaging

I don't know the color temperature, but the ones I received are a bright white rather than "warm" white.

It says 2700 K on the box the bulb came in. That's towards warm white, but it actually looks much whiter, as the bulb is clear & not diffused.

Very cold. I wish they made a 3,000K. They make an amber, however it is a yellow-orange color and not a warm white alternative. Bulbbrite are you listening?? The day they make a warm white 1W LED, is the day I place them in every socket where a only gentle light is needed. Hope this helps.

You are asking about colour temperature, which most people do not understand. You might get a better response asking whether they are warm yellow or colder blue in tone. Its my understanding they are incandescent (vs LED) and are warm. Hope this is helpful.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't think I am qualified to answer the question for your needs, sorry. I installed them in my kitchen, the best I can offer is that the light is a white light, no blue tint and definitely not a warm (incandescent) type of illumination.

Mine are pure, clean and bright white with no trace of blue...but I would not call the light 'warm.'

I have been using mine for 9 months outside in hot and cold weather with no problems. If you haven't noticed, they have three different color temps for the bulbs, make sure they ship your preference. I have the White 6000K and the Warm White 3100K. The 6000K is noticeably brighter, but the light is bluish, similar to the color you might see in a car headlight.

The pkg. says that the color temp. is 2700K, which is what regular incandescent and CFLs are labeled as. However, I have some LED floods in my office that are 3000K which is a whiter light than 2700K and these Philips are more like the 3000K lights I have. I love them!

I'm not sure of the lumens or kelvin rating, but they are bright! They are more white than blue. Jokingly, my wife says she needs her sunglasses at night with them on! I would definitely buy them again!

I believe right around 5,000 Kelvin. They are white with slight blue tint. No brighter than holagen, but in my Windstar with no other light they do reach noticeably further. I won't go back to old holagen lamps. Just better LED's.

Color is a white light not yellow tint like halogen bulbs and temperature is whatever room temp is, there is no heat with these bulbs and after I researched prices this was the best I found. Hope this helps you.
