The lamps that I ordered were "Warm White". The shipper, in China, sent "White" by mistake. Before the bulbs arrived, the shipper realized their mistake and made a generous offer as compensation.
Shipping from China to an APO in Afghanistan took a bit longer than is usual for an Amazon order, but it was worth the wait. NOTE: the packages said "Blue" on them when they arrived. I suppose this is because "White" is a bit blue, especially when compared to "Warm White".
It is unfortunate that all of their available colors are not listed. For office settings and work stations, "White" or even "Cool White" (if Cool White exists in this style) are more desirable than "Warm White". I will be ordering more of these.
In any event, the bulbs are fantastic. They are very bright with a very even distribution of light. They will operate on voltages ranging from 85 VAC to 265 VAC. This makes them perfect for anyone deployed overseas; as some camps are 110 VAC and others are 240 VAC. They withstand electrical surges with no problems. Surges are common in camps running on generators. One bulb works everywhere. The bulbs are also very rugged and can be safely packed in duffel bags.
The bulbs get warm to the touch, but not hot. These are much better than the Compact Fluorescent units that I have used in the past. They will be ideal for use in bare bulb fixtures in closets, basement naked bulb fixtures, desk lamps and table lamps. I have a few decorative lamps that will also benefit from using these bulbs.Im an electrician in ma. Have these all around my house, no complaints at all. Expect a delay when you turn on the switch, this is normal for LED's. But unlike CFL's there is no warm up period.
