Finding bulbs at this temperature for our Harbor Breeze ceiling fans seemed unusually difficult - everything was either 2700k and too warm or 5000k and unpleasant blue colors. These lights are the perfect color and brightness. They glow a little more directly than incandescent bulbs, so the shadows they cast seem a little harsher at times, but it's barely noticeable and I forget it quickly. If you haven't liked e12 LED candelabras/bulbs in the past, give them a try and you'll probably change your mind.
