Great lights if the white was actually warm. But it's not.

They say these lights have a "Warm White" mode. This is incorrect. The white is neither warm (2700k) or even soft (3000k). They are closer to a cool white and that just sucks. You can kind of get a warm white using the color mode but the yellow color is more green than yellow until you hit orange. Even then, the light refraction from the lenses causes the light to split so you end up with bits of red and green in the light splashes which makes it look a bit off.In general I'm not unhappy with the lights, just not completely happy either. Vendors and manufacturers need to learn that "warm white" and "soft white" aren't just words, they are actual color temperatures with real numbers (2700k and 3000k respectively) and I'm sick to death of all the false advertising vendors like this use to sell their products. If it wasn't such a pain to return these and find a real warm white, I would 100% return these. As it stands, I'd most likely end up with another set falsely advertised as warm white and be in the same position I am now, so what's the point? Ebay needs to start holding vendors like this accountable for their false advertising or its never going to get better.*EDIT*I notice they've taken down any mention of "warm white", which is good but it would have been nice if someone had reached out to me about my dissatisfaction. Also, they still have pictures up that show what appears to be a warm white. These pictures are NOT indicative of how they will actually appear in person. The same goes for any image that shows the color yellow.*EDIT AGAIN*And they've put the warm white 2700k back into the description. It's possible they've fixed the issue but I doubt it. Buyer beware.
