How does the color (warmth) of the light compare to an incandescent bulb?

If you use the bright white or 5000k they are the color of outdoors. The 3000k or soft white are the same as the old incandescent bulbs.

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°.

Warm white- rated the same color temp as a standard incandescent bulb (2700K).

Not much at all, warm to the touch but not hot. Significantly less than cfl and standard bulbs. Mine are less than a foot away from my lettuce and no scorching.

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.

It's a full spectrum light - like the sun I think it's more bluish. I personally can see true colors when I use this bulb.

the white should be brighter than the warm....I would think the warm is softer than it is bright.

Cool white is brighter. Warm white has more yellow in the light and is therefore a little less bright.

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.

I decided not to purchase this bulb; I went with a Bulbrite LED globe light instead. But....from the research I've done online, 3000K is in the warm range so it should give off a warm, slightly yellow color - as opposed to the 5000 to 6000K light which are cool and decided bluish in color. The Bulbrite light I bought is also 3000K and I like it very much but I prefer the warm light glow as opposed to cool. Hope this is helpful

The color is pleasantly warm. I use it to replace 100Watt bulbs in our living room. It has worked quite nicely.

You are asking about colour temperature, which most people do not understand. You might get a better response asking whether they are warm yellow or colder blue in tone. Its my understanding they are incandescent (vs LED) and are warm. Hope this is helpful.

I responded recently that the color temp is slightly whiter than the halogen color temp. When I replaced three of them above our vanity she complained that the new bulbs really washed out her mirror reflection, so I put one of the originals back in the middle socket. The combo was satisfactory and saves us a lot on electricity. But I cannot answer your question quantitatively.

I think they are on the softer side of white, but I would not call them a soft white like an incandescent bulb. The color is in between an incandescent bulb soft white and the florescent lights you see over head in say, a store or office. It is a nice light to read with.

Cool white and bright white are usually the same. Warm white - the other common type - typically has a more yellowish color to it and more closely resembles an incandescent light bulb.

For LED RGB light, the color temperature of the white is about 6000K to 7000K. Compare to a 12W halogen light bulb, which has about 2800K to 3000K, LED light bulb has 3000K to 4000K difference in temperature.

Good question with mostly wrong answers. The people answering this seem to have no concept of color temperatures, and are possibly thinking of the play they once saw with "colored" lights in the rafters.This lamp is rated at 2700 Kelvin, which is WARM (meaning more reddish than cold bluish). In fact, it is every bit as warm as your average rounded incandescent bulb (also rated around 2700K), and puts out roughly the same amount of light as a 25 watt incandescent bulb. In other words, it's easy on the eyes. I use my at my computer desk and rarely need direct light, so I aim it at the ceiling and it gives the area a nice soft warm indirect light that's perfect for surfing the web.
