Does the Whisper White filter make the room look "warmer" as opposed to a "cooler" look that might come from the tranquil blue color?

The white are definitely lighter than the blue, but know that they will actually give the room more of a yellowish feel. I have a combination of white and blue filters in my classroom.

Somewhat. It is not the "classiest" look around, but is the most affordable.

Yes! It gives off more of a yellow-tint, if that makes any sense. I had blue before, that was provided by my district for a student. I ordered white just to try it and I loved it!

I chose the white because the blue gives me a headache. The majority of the students (108) also preferred the white. I don't know that it is necessarily warmer, but it made my eyes and head feel 100% better than the regular light.

Yes but it is very subtle whereas the blue filters have a more obvious appearance causing the room to feel cooler.

Not being a color sensitive person, I would say on the whiter side of blue-white but definitely not the warm white. Most of my lamps in the house are CFLs so the color is not objectionable to me.

it changes the hue of the room slightly...I don't know that I would mix colors...I like the blue because they look like skylights :)

It is a matter of personal preference. My wife likes the warm light because it is like incandescent, I like the cool white because I think it gives better color rendition.

Yes, we sell a color called Whisper White. You can find it by typing this item Amazon # into the search field: B001YT7DFQ. The fabric for the light filters contains a fire resistant coating.

From what I can tell the warm white is easier on the eyes than the cool white when used for reading. The cool white is a more "Whiter and blue-ish white". So it really depends on the situation or application.

I've found them to be a warmish white, myself. I use mine in my office under my desk and it works nicely.

The color is not as blue white as some which is actually an advantage. For example this is a warmer white than the Klarus light i have. This makes color identification such as reading maps much better.

Hi. Having tried both I have to say that yes, the translucent ones do appear brighter. That's why I got the opaque ones because I wanted a more subdued type of lighting. I would say also that the opaque can probably be described as a "warmer" type of lighting. It just depends on where you want to use these as far as placement and the effect you will get.

the cool white light seems 'brighter' to our brains, because it is most like the 'light' we experience when outside at midday with clear skys. Going up the kelvin scale the light gets a greater 'blue tint'. Going down the kelvin scale the light becomes increasingly more yellow/orange (simulating dusk-like light). I have difficulty going to sleep, so I try to match my lighting to be equivalent to outside conditions (using 5000K in the morning/daytime, and using 3500K and less in the evenings). There is research to support changing light temp to improve sleep patterns (see: justgetflux.com)

I think so. One side is black (the side shown in the photo) and turns grayish whitish from dust, etc. as it filters the air that passes through it, as long as you insert the filter in the appropriate direction.

It is definitely more blue, no hint of gray. I haven't noticed any more static than usual for winter, and I haven't yet had issues with bunching.

Cool white and warm when I usually refer to the color temperature of the light. Cool white is blue while warm white is usually a little more toward the orange-ish like incandescent lights.

Cool white. I put mine in the kitchen ceiling where there are a lot of other bulbs, all warm white, so it doesn't change the overall room.

I have both blue and green shades in my room. When you are standing directly under one, you can tell. However, the combination has not been bothersome at all. I swear to you the filtering of the Florescent has made my students so much calmer. I can't tell you how often someone walks in my room and says "It feels so calm in here. "

Depends on what speed you put the unit on and the size of the room. The unit is in our bedroom and we use it on low speed in the winter and in the summer we put it on high which makes the room feel cooler.

Yes warm white is a softer shade it generally has a pink/orange hue as to the cool is a blue hue.
