I received the eight LED lights. The box shows 1) White 2) Natural White 3) Warm White on the side with check boxes to identify which type of lightning is in the box. The eight I received are marked Natural White. I ordered Warm White. The Natural White is a bit harsh to the eye. Color wise, they have a bit of a blue hue. I'm working on an exchange for Warm White now.
Separately, the product is sold as a flush mount. As designed, the product installs about 1/8 inch away from the ceiling. Here is a pic showing the 1/8 inch gap between the ceiling and light fixture. Some won't care about this visually. I believe most people would want the trim ring to seal against the ceiling with no gap. It would be simple for the manufacturer to modify the trim ring so it seals all the way around the ceiling creating a clean look. As it is, I think it gives the appearance it was installed incorrectly.The design also lacks a back to create an electrical box to isolate wiring as required by building code in the US. Lastly, some instructions and a specification sheet in the box might be helpful.
These are easy to install. I used them in a band rehearsal space where CFL would create noise in the equipment and halogen creates too much heat. Recessed lighting requires a hole in the ceiling, which would defeat all the soundproofing that was just installed. The surface mount LED was a great solution. Spendy for what it is. This light should be about $10-$15. But, if you need them, you need them.
