Those LEDs are in the 6,000 to 8,000k range... that is a very blue light, incandescent lights tend to be 2,700k and the higher the number the more white/blue the light tends to be, lower the number the more yellow it tends to be.

I double checked and they are 6 watt, so if their lumin output is what they claim then those are some impressive bulbs, of course the higher the color temp the easier it is to get the LED brighter.

I don't mind the crisp slightly blue light of some LED's but my house mate does not like it, so I have a few that are acceptable by her standards but they also tend to be pricier.
