What is the actual color temperature of the lights? What manufactures say and what it is are often very different.

not having a color temp light meter, a little hard to get actual reading. I do know the led light values do match electronic flash, and have used a mix of Led and Flash to light a scene, With no color cast to fix in post.

I find them to be fairly warm. I wouldn't characterize them as the harsher white that some of the LEDs have.

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.

The color temperature is listed as 3000; in my house, this is a neutral white. It is not the "warm white" of an incandescent (2700), and it is not the "cold blue" of a 5000 daylight. Hope this helps!

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.

Its what you are referring to as harsh white. Its a very high color temperature, although I dont know the exact number, I could say its about like 6000 Kelvin LEDs. And the light output is very high, brighter than my 50 w halogens which it replaced.

Hard to say the exact color in temperature degrees. The white is not warm like an incandescent lamp which is in the red light spectrum 2700. It is bright, intense, cold or pure white white more toward the blue spectrum light more like 6000.

I can't give you a scientific answer to your question but I can say this; i put them in a desk lamp using a 60W incandescent and in a ide lamp of a pole lamp using a 40W incandescent, and in both of those places, the Puilips bulb looks brighter to me. But I son't want to mislead you. I really have no idea about what color temperatures looks like. I did n''t even know colors had temperature. I'm jut giving you my "what it seems like by my eye view. I hope this helps.

I had the same issues when I bought my lights... It's just a combination of colors it seems, I still love em'. If you want a true white one, you might have to fork out for dedicated light.

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.

AS noted below, the White in the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) isn't a true white. However, Amazon offers OLS kits in Bright White and Warm White. Amazon's number for the Bright White is B002CQ0GYA. Warm White is B004ZO3BSK. My eyes aren't very good, so I need A LOT of light. They are pretty bright and the bright white and warm white have similar features such as 8 dim / bright settings. Plus On / Off. The warm white is around 3000 to 3500K temp. Bright white is 6000K to 7000k. Hope that helps.

Silverstars especially the high end HID equivalent are brighter than these. All light output in this type is usually rated in Kelvin. The hotter the burn of the light source the higher the Kelvin (usually) all meant to be toward 5000 to 6000 Kelvin or natural sunlight temps/light equivalent. In my opinion, the Phillips cast a cooler blue light usually associated with a 3500 to 40000 Kelvin scale. I ran them for about 3 weeks and went back to Silverstar HID equivalent for these very dark, no street lights, out in the country roads.

Your right Vlad, it should be posted but for the most part those ratings aren't all that accurate. I've seen 6000K (pretty much what these are) As a white 5000K, A purpleish 6000K, and everywhere in between. Pictures are going to be the best bet in comparing color temperature.

We LOVE these lights! They are very well built. The LED bulb is 3 watts and are "warm" temperature, very similar to regular incandescent. If you are asking if they are warm or hot to the touch, the answer is no.

Not the hotter color that is sometimes described as daylight this is a cooler temp and is closer to the yellow of an ordinary incandescent but still it is LED, I used in outdoor fixtures and have for some years now, not the bluer white, note most bulbs are not the bluer hotter K light, just went through that with some other bulbs I bought at HD for lamps, the 6000K daylight bulbs are whiter than coolwhite etc. I would say these bulbs more like cool white, meaning a bit more yellow. The temp range should be good indication of what to expect, 3000-4000 is more yellow, up near 6000 is hotter and more bluewhite.

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

Whoops! Unlike GeorgeM (who really knows his instrumentation), you're confusing colour temperature (5000K, 6000K) with light output (Lumens, spherical candle power). Cheers!
