It was too bright compared to an aging CFL they had got used to which
IMO was unsafely dim for at least 5 minutes after switching it on.

That lamp is 'daylight white' (6000K) which is a pretty 'hard' light. 'White' (3000 to 3500K) or even 'Warm
white' (2750K) might have been less of a contrast with previous lamp. I have a single 4W LED in the porch
lamp, and when the street lights go out it seems to light up the neighbourhood!

My error - it was the 2700K predecessor but no longer offered for sale
that I can see. I just grabbed the nearest match to the one I bought. It
still isn't what I would call "warm white" though more like 4000K.
