And they are available in different colour temperatures now. A friend
visited bemoaning that they would need to get these bulbs, and saying
they liked the yellow cast of old bulbs like in the lamp we had turned
on. It had a 'warm white' CFL in it, of course. About 2700 degrees K
is what they are labelled.
