As far as I am concerned, all artificial light is noticeably different. However, I like these bulbs quite a bit and intend to purchase them again when these stop working.

It is a WHITE light more like halogen, not cool white which tends to be more sepia tone like incandescent.

No, its not. However we couldn't be more pleased with the product. The only thing the light did not have was an on off switch, however we are using a daylight to dusk adapter.

This is a solar powered light. I think you are looking for a sun lamp? From what I've read, sun lamps rely on large doses of ultraviolet light. This light does not emit much in that spectrum, so don't think it's what you are looking for.

My husband has asked me to tell you that this is a great light. He says sorry but he cannot tell you the difference b/c we have not used another type of light for our pitch dark property behind our house where a huge man cave building is located and where this particular lighting is used. We have over 7 acres and the acreage behind the house is huge and the output of the light is great where I no longer feel uncomfortable when I step out the back door. Good luck!

I really wouldn't think there would be a difference between them. Just the lights are different colors.

It doesn't illuminate. But with the right amount of light, it is very clear.

It is a very, very faint illumination. If you are sure that it is getting enough sunlight to recharge it during the day, then you should be able to see a light glow at night for a few hours. You do have to look very close. It is a cool feature but not the best one functionally. :D

I've noticed that it does, but doesn't really give off any light. I have these on the side of my house which is pitch black at night. They are amazing then but barely noticeable in daylight, but that's fine since I don't need them for that.

I would say it is close to the same brightness. Its not blinding if that helps.

It's just sunlight, but it can look more blue than yellow. May be due to the mirrored tube the light flows through. Took me a few days to get used to it. Not sure if you could add an extra filter at the entry point, but it's not really worth it in my opinion. The actual ceiling light in the same hallway as our light tube looks very yellow in comparison.

This is "daylight" like fluorescent - not cool light. It is very bright and we are very satisfied of the result !

I don't really know I have mixed feelings on it being 7xx brighter. make sure you have good sun to light to fixture!

I think it is. I compared all the lights and bought this one because of the cost. I am very pleased with the two of them I bought.

It is a LED with a color temperature of 5000k and CRI if 80. How close that is to "sunlight" is subject to your own opionions, not to mention what kind of conditions you are measuring "sunlight" in (sunlight color temperatures vary with time of day, overcast or not, etc). Clearly no lightbulb gives off true sunlight, or anything all that close to it, despite marketing terms being used to describe bulbs that try to be closer than average. (Some of the differences are good, would you really want a lightbulb that gives you sunburn?)
