Can I adjust the color temperature of the main reading light? The night light changes colors - cool. What about the reading light?

No. I'm not sure what you mean by "color temperature". I guess you are asking if colorsc can be changed on the main reading lamp. The answer is no. Reading lamp doesn't change colrs, only brightness.

I have replaced all of my lights in my fifth wheel with these lights. Not sure what you mean by color temperature but they are a bright light but actuall temp is cool. Hope this helps. I really like the light thes bulbs give off.

You can set the the temps separately as others have mentioned. We love ours except for the awful light color. It casts a blue tone in your room not unlike a restroom in a cheap Vegas lounge. Also ours arrived with large dent and it was obviously packed with dent since there was no packing damage. Fortunately the dent could be turned to the wall.

The description calls it a "daylight" bulb. In terms of color temperature, that would mean that there is no shift in the color spectrum as you would have if your were reading under a florescent bulb. If you are planning to use your Ott-Lite as photo lighting, I feel that you would be happy with your photos.

Yes! You can adjust it to 10 different brightness settings, and I find 5 and up are just fine for reading.

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)

No, you can not. It is a bright clear light, it does not produce heat. It has a 3 point switch that changes from white light, off, and blue

Color temperature or Physical temperature?1 - Color temperature wise these seem to have a cooler white/blue effect, but without being over the top. Can't give you an actual temperature though.2 - Heat wise, it'll depend on what your OEM bulb and wiring harness were rated at. Even running a bulb 5W higher could inadvertently cause issues with your bulb housing and light itself. I can't agree with the previous posters sentiment the "light energy goes up then heat energy goes down". The strength of the light (measured normally in 'lumens') will typically increase as the bulbs wattage increases, as would surface/air temperatures.

Sorry not sure what you are asking - color temp.? the color is white & since it is LED it is not hot. If that helps?

Asked my son as he is the one who uses it and he says it changes color, or you can push a button to keep it lit on one specific color. You also have the option not to use the lights at all.

Hi Jerome, I read a lot in bed, and I use this lamp. The light is a bit whiter than I would like, but it is bright enough for a good reading, and at the same time very discrete for any other person sleeping in the same bedroom. Hope his helps !Regards,Rodrigo

No, it's great. We use it on my 3 yr olds bed for reading. No problems and I love that we can adjust the brightness.

Yes-you can adjust the brightness level of the display. Refer to the instruction booklet, which is a bit dense, but this adjustment is in there.

you could try going to Menu&gt;Picture&gt;Gaming&gt;More (at bottom for options)&gt;Color Temperature&gt; & change this to what you prefer. Also, maybe just changing the Picture Setting to something other than Gaming. The Picture gets almost 2x as bright when using this option.

That is a bit of a relative question... I will muddle the situation by saying it is in between. It is not a white/blue light (what I suspect you call cool) nor is it a soft, yellow light (what you probably call warm). I have multiples of these installed in my home. By playing with the level of brightness, I am happy with every one of them.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

No, unfortunately you only get the dim light. It's nice when you're trying to sleep, but it makes reading the time hard.
