The QA on this said it was 3000K but it is visibly cooler toned than my 3000K can lights- the contrast looks bad! The white shade blends nicely with the ceiling but got pretty dirty because most electricians don’t care enough to wear gloveswash their hands. The light is brighter than I was expecting, which is good, but I’m disappointed about it not actually being 3000K, I wouldn’t buy it again.
