Another term you may come across during your quest is warm white. It was even mentioned a few times during this guide but you still may be wondering what on earth it is. While it is still a shade of white light, warm white does have a few differences that make it perform differently than pure white. For starters, a warm white bulb is closer to a clear white and a pure white bulb closer resembles a white fluorescent lamp.
To be upfront and honest, there is not too much of a difference between the two but some people will prefer one over the other. For example, pure white bulbs tend to be more striking and vivid in color to their warm white competition. Meanwhile, warm white lights are a little softer and warmer and are ideal if you are looking for a classic appeal.
