The bulb shown on the left is the original warm white fluorescent I installed almost 2 years ago. The bulb on the right is the so called "warm white" LED bulb. I would classify it it as beyond cool white, and into daylight white. This is not at all what I was expecting, and I was very disappointed. Fortunately, I can use them in my kitchen with the daylight white LED tubes I have installed, and they will not look out of place. Otherwise my only recourse would be to return them to the store. The point of all this is...there is a great deal of confusion about correlated color temperature in bulbs. Most of the confusion is the fault of the manufacturers marketing these products. There are easy ways to label LED bulbs to make this selection user friendly, but you have to know what to look for.
Very useful information on LED Bulb and color temperature.
