What was the specified colour temperature? (6000 K is like sunlight.)
Note that they can't simulate sunlight exactly as that requires a more
or less continuous spectrum through the visible range. LEDs tend to
have a lumpy spectrum that lacks the violet.


The specified temp was 6000-6500k.
I should have bought just the one for testing, but they were almost half
price bought in a pack of 10, I wondered how much it would matter but
they are bloody awful.

I have a panel in the kitchen at home which switches between 3
temperatures. One end is yellow, the other looks like an operating
theatre but the inbetween one is great.


You could probably find a pale orange glass paint to tone them down a
bit. Basically 6000K looks blue when compared to ordinary incandescents.

I prefer warm myself as it mimics conventional incandescent bulbs.
