The key for me is the light shade, as manufacturers known to interpret the indication warm white greatly. The color here is an intense, yet pleasantly clear and neutral white, and not how it is sometimes seen in the direction of another color tone (yellowish or similar) abdriftend. For my purposes, the color is just right, as the corresponding ceiling lamp is mounted in the entrance area. In our immediate living area on the other hand continue to uplight and bulbs are predominant, because these give a more homely light color usually.
