More blue than white

I bought a set of 20 to use in my under cabinet lighting system. I was not satisfied with either the brightness or the color temperature. I think it would be fine for cars or backlit displays, but for interiors you'll probably want to spend a little more money for something that has more LEDs in the array (20+ instead of 8) and has a nicer color temperature. . The product title says 6000K but the description says 6500K. I don't have access to a color gamut meter at the moment, but I get the impression they could be well outside the 8000K range. I also found them a bit weak in terms of build quality. They all worked, but the backs flexed a little when they were installed and I would imagine they might snap if you aren't careful to just press on the ends when installing them. There's also no heatsink to cool the LEDs, although the 8 LEDs are spread out, so it's probably not a big deal. I wanted. I'll keep them for hobby electronics projects or changing lightbulbs in cars. It was the cheapest option but I got what I paid for.

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
