What is the color temperature of this bulb?
285216
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.

I'm not sure what the temperature is but a subjective answe is its whiter than a standard incandescent bulb but warmer than a daylight bulb. Personally I prefer the color to the slightly oranger incandescents.

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.)

To my knowledge, it is 4200 K with a light output of 3350 +/- 300 lumens. Higher temperatures do not mean brighter bulbs. Higher temperature bulbs put out less light.

Thank you for your question, Mark! The color temperature of this fixture is 3000K, or warm white.

The color temp of the light is approximately 3000k so on the warmer side. Comparable to a Halogen light.

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

5000 Kelvin, which is on the Cool side. Not a warm color, a bit unpleasant. I use it in valence lighting of my white ceiling. Works very well like that, illuminates all of the room.

Do not no what the colour temp is as mine lasted about a month and burnt out.

It is very white. I don't care for how white it is. You must pay attention to the light spectrum number in the specifications. This was rated at 3100 a regular light bulb is rated at 2700.

It gives a very white light. I don't know what the color temperature would be, but it is not a real warm or "reddish" color.

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.

Yes this is light has a color rendering index (CRI) of 98 and Temp 6700 (K). Right there on the website.http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/compact_fluorescent_bulbs.phpHope this helps!!

Good question; maybe would be clearer if you asked "color" temperature. I would expect about 5000K otherwise people would be complaining about blue garbage light.

Good question with mostly wrong answers. The people answering this seem to have no concept of color temperatures, and are possibly thinking of the play they once saw with "colored" lights in the rafters.This lamp is rated at 2700 Kelvin, which is WARM (meaning more reddish than cold bluish). In fact, it is every bit as warm as your average rounded incandescent bulb (also rated around 2700K), and puts out roughly the same amount of light as a 25 watt incandescent bulb. In other words, it's easy on the eyes. I use my at my computer desk and rarely need direct light, so I aim it at the ceiling and it gives the area a nice soft warm indirect light that's perfect for surfing the web.

I'll try to answer this question even though the wording is odd. If you are asking where on the color spectrum they are, they are 6500K on the color temperature spectrum. This is similar to the color of daylight on an overcast day. Not really on the blue or orange side of the spectrum. Pretty close to white light. I can't find a wavelength chart that breaks down the distribution of wavelengths for these bulbs.

The color could be called warm white. It is as close to natural sun light as we have seen from any artificial light source. Almost all florescent bulbs tend toward the blue end of the spectrum. At 3000 Kelvin temperature, these LED's are very white with a slight shift toward the yellow, warmer end of the spectrum, very much like sunlight.

Well, white, I guess. I use it in a reading light. What is the color temperature factor you mention?I think I just found identifying info:Osram 133531 - FPL18EX-N Single Tube 4 Pin Base Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb
