Color at 3000K is excellent. It looks like a cloudy day. Not too warm and not too cold. However, it is about 150-300 lm less bright compared to my 1000 lm IKEA round light. It puts out about 800 lumens or less. When I turn it on with my Lutron Maestro, it flickers at full brightness. It has a smooth transition to the "off" position. I tested this after resetting the dimmer and setting the light threshold low.
