These candelabra were dispatched quickly and in good condition. The boxes are very clever to protect them. The 4000K doesn't get hot so I was surprised to see the thermal performance as if that was something to aim for. The normal 2700K color seems boring to me. However, the 4000 is a bit cool. 3500 is ideal but very hard to come by. I have a 5 bulb and I changed bulbs so I used three 4000K and two 2700K which gives good color. The light reflects off the ceiling, so it's not as obvious that they're different colors as they could be. But the bulbs are good for what they are, no complaints.
