The light is very bright and as others stated and warm white. However, the whirring sound was a reason for me not to use the lamp for the Eß. or desk but in the bathroom, because that would be disturbing for me. But since I have ordered another (Auraglow) LED bulb to compare, I have to say, this also hums and came into the hall. I do not know whether there is also noiseless lamps, but to use at your desk, etc. I would not use just because of the noise. * A pity *
