Not warm white! for LED bulbs

I had high hopes that they would reduce energy consumption in my (rather large) Christmas village. With 45 lightbulbs of 5-7 watts each, electricity costs increased every season. However, once I started installing I was disappointed that these new LED bulbs were not the advertised 'warm white' 2700K color. Instead they were probably at least 4000K bright white, trending towards 5000K daylight tint. For a warm glow effect in a Christmas village, the cold tint of these lights is unacceptable. They're also a bit dimmer than my other bulbs, but I could easily live with a slightly dimmer output if the color lived up to my expectations. So it's time to bring them back and try other manufacturers' C7 LED bulbs that are true warm white.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Dimmable lamps
