What color led lights? null

I have six of these and want to know the color temperature of these "warm white" lights at full brightness and when dimmed by 50%? "Warm white" tells us nothing. "White light" is relative. Even if they don't meet an ISO standard, customers ideally need to know if Best Buy/Insignia "Warm White" is supposed to be 5,000°K (Kelvin)? 4,700°K or closer to 3,200°K (which isn't really a "white" at all). The modern standard for "white" is either 5,000°K or 6,500°K (5,000° being warmer, and comparable to bright sunlight at noon and 6,500°K being cooler —more blue — and comparable to "white" viewed in open shade outdoors. Both are ISO standards for photographic lighting. Any "warm white" under 5,000°K is decidedly old-school. It may have decorative value, but it alters your perception of colors in a room, or those viewed on a display in a computer editing room. Thus, any color temperature light below 5,000°K is a less desirable product because it impedes color-accurate viewing and image editing. I believe these LED strip lights are between 3,200°K and 5,000°K. By the way, the color version of these Insignia strip lights can't reproduce a color anywhere near a pure "white." What the color model produces when you select "white" is a noticeably cyan/blue color. If the "white" LEDS strip lights are being phased out, that is bad judgement on the part of Insignia. Customers need a more pure, color accurate "white" light option.

Leds are white only. Very bright. Fully dimmable..

MY LED LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT WHITE BUT THEY ARE DIMMABLE , THE LIGHTS THIS PAST WEEK ON SALE WERE OF MANY COLORS .

These lights are white, can be very dim or very bright.

The lights are white only. You can’t change color like you can in the Phillips Hue light strip which is more expensive but worth the extra money if you want to have different colors for different occasions.
