jimswinder Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 i think it depends on the manufacturer, but I believe Pure White and Cool White are basically the same..."Warm White" lights are listed as 3,200K- 3,400K"Pure White" lights are listed as 6000 - 6500K"Cool White" lights listed at color temp 7300 - 7800Khttp://www.atgelectronics.com/support/PDF/2008041801.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faluzure Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The cool white are like a white that is the color of a fluorescent light bulb.Warm white has yellow in it, but it's not as yellow-intense as incandescent lights.FYI, MITS has a new LED this year that are more along the line of incandescent light. It's called "Hill Country Christmas". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 warm white falls around 2800 degrees kelven which is yellow like the incans or similar depending on the manafacturePure White is as it name says it is it normally is around 5000 to 5800ºK which is white to a very light blueish tineCool White is around 7800ºK which is a blueish tintbut as jim said it depends on the manfacture and what they refere to pure and coolmost fluorescent lamps rang from 5000 and up since you can buy pure white ones and I have seen ones that give off a blueish tint which would have a higher color tempeture Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 For most LED strings, Warm White is pretty close to incandescent. For the Minleon dimmable bulbs, Sun Warm White is the one that is close to incandescent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
