Headline says warm white but color range is given as 6000-6500k which is a bright white color. warm white is typically around 3000k. so which is it?

It is warm white color. Amazon need to change the color temperature to 2700k-3000k. You had a sharp eye.

The 2 I bought are actually warm. they have more of a yellow glow than the bright white.

They look a little whiter than stock, so maybe 4300K. The higher the temp, the bluer the light. For example, 3000K is yellow, 6000K is blue. White light delivers the best illumination and is found in the 4 to 5 range. I replaced only one side ( bought a pair for when the other side dies) and it is whiter and brighter than stock.

Here is a link that shows how 4000K "looks" compared to other color-temperatures: http://www.ledwaves.com/About-Color-Temperature.html

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.

The description states warm white. That would put in in the 2600K;2700K;2800K range, probably 2700K. This is the color of a regular incandescent light bulb. A halogen bulb would be 3000K(also called bright white); a daylight bulb(noon day sunlight equivalent) would be 5000K.

It offers 3 different color temperature of soft white 2700K, warm white 3000K, and cool white 5000K. 2700K is about 800 lumens.

Cool white and bright white are usually the same. Warm white - the other common type - typically has a more yellowish color to it and more closely resembles an incandescent light bulb.

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.

Closest to cool white, definitely not warm. They describe it as "a full spectrum light bulb" but if given option of cool or warm, cool is best description.

I would call it warm white. They are not real bright as they only have two LED's in them but that is what I was looking for. I did not want harsh lights

It's not a matter of brightness. Both emit the same # of lumens. It's a function of the light spectrum they emit. So it's really an aesthetics question. Some people don't care for "white" that's in the 5,000K range and prefer the "warm" or yellowish light emitted at 3500K.

The light spectrum is 3000K, warm white. It's near the far end of the warm light scale.

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 would describe it as bright white -- 5600K or higher. That's my best estimate given that it's already installed outside, and I can't easily compare it to a cooler bulb.

It's bluish compared to an incandescent. It's not as blue as natural sunlight (whose color temperature is 6000 k, but is actually "cooler" perceptually than "warm" white , which is the color of incandescents and halogens -- yellowish -- and is 2700-3000k). This light is probably around 4000k, which, compared to an incandescent, is cold and harsh. It says 3000k on the box but that's -- to put it nicely -- inaccurate.

Hi!The package doesn't really contain any exact number in terms of color temperature, but it's definitely in the "cool" (blueish) white range >5000K.Best Regards,Patrick

The 2700K and 3500K are the color temperature ratings. A lower color temperature will look more red while a higher color temperature will look more blue. Natural light is around 5000K.
