And the color temperature and CRI, tell you what the

2700K 90CRI, which means roughly "almost the same as

I find the exact opposite. Those horrible 2700k orange/yellow
monstrosities are far inferior to the cool white/daylight bulbs for
reading (and for any other lighting)


The 5000K 85CRI bulbs I bought, the floods, those
are dreadful, and I can't use those for anything.

Some of us can and find them much better than traditional bulb (colour
temperature) equivalents.

5000K is often a bit too high/blue.

4000K I find satisfactory for many purposes. It appears that the CRI has generally improved over the years - but very few actually state it!
