The 'white' ones give a bluish light similar to moon light.
So if you prefer lighting to give a warm ambience these are not for you.

LED lights are very bright to look at but do not illuminate the scene at all
well, possibly because the light is only at one very specific wavelength.


It's because there's so little light there. It's bright in the
very narrow beam, but that very narrow beam means there's very
little light there. You'll probably find they are 2W or 3W, and
the total light output is about what you'd expect from a 2W bulb.
