Does that thin blue strip near the front of the bulb make the light noticeably "whiter"?

Yes be carefully installing the bulb the less you damage the better the bulb if it's a tiny scratch won't hurt it to bad. Recommend using like a micro fiber towel. Or you can used your hands just be careful not to touch the bulb cause it could brake when installing.

It is more pure white. I know what you mean by the yucky blue color. Seems like the newer LED 's are going more white. This is a great light. It's on the smaller side; but puts out good light..Worth buying. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the on off switch location. Kind of difficult to turn on or off. Go for it! You will be happy.

I wouldn't know the answer to this question, as mine has a bulb out as well, I believe it to be the blue one,,

The light is blue on mine but it is so dim I cannot see it in the day and at night it is barely noticeable.

Yes it does have a blue light. But it's a lot more subtle than the blue lights on my turntable so I don't even notice.

There are two blue LED lights built into the lamp housing. So the moonlighting works even without blubs in. So you don't have to buy a special bulb or anything like that, it's part of the fixture.

No, it goes from off, gradually and incrementally, to very bright. The dimmer settings promote a more soft and yellow light and the brighter settings are more white. We love the lamp and have two of them and may buy another for our other house.

Its more of a yellow or even a tad orangish light. It definitely doesn't dim bluish. I've LED lights in the bath that go that way.

The plastic plate that the bulb shows thru is milky white. It takes a daylight fluorescent. The light that shows underneath does not come through Very bright, Just a soft glow.

I find the lights to be a bit cooler (bluish) than the halogens that were originally on my camper. The impression is a whiter light as opposed to the yellowish light of the old lamps.

It's strange the variety of answers here. Mine is a distinctively blue hue and is quite bright. I have it on in a room and at night, you can see it shining out the windows making the room look like an alien has landed in it. However, the type of lamp you plug this into will make a big difference. The lamp I have is for 160W bulb. Less powerful lamps may not produce such a white light.

The blue tint in them is barely noticeable. In fact you can really only tell if you park it next to a car with standard headlights. Then you would definitely notice that there is in fact a very light blue tint in the light. But again it's barely noticeable. Due to that I find that they are in fact brighter than standard bulbs. Simply cause blue light tends to be brighter than yellow light. I find I can see much clearer at night and I won't go back to standard bulbs cause I hate the yellowish tint in them. These cool blues are definitely much whiter lights than stock bulbs. And def brighter too. The blue tint in them is barely noticeable.

No there is not blueish tint to it while its illumined, you will only get those "blue lights" with HIDs. Its just a brigter than stock bulb. Worked well on my Harley. You can really tell a difference in the light output between my stock bulb and this one at night.

Yes essentially, the only difference I can tell when installed, is the area that emits light is a slightly smaller diameter than the standard bulb. This is barely noticeable differencein my recessed light.

Yes. It dims in the same style as the incandescent bulb. However, it dims more quickly...so the dimming effect is not as pronounced. But it definitely does NOT just abruptly shut off. We have had these in for a year+. No issues at all so far other than being very pleased with the brighter interior light. Makes Pilot look much more modern. We have Grey interior.
