Christmas Light Help
Ok, bought some cool white led icicle light bulbs for the outside of the house and they obviously don't match the incandescent window candle bulbs. Anyone know where I can get something that will be a closer match?

I think the warm white are going to be different. The cool white almost have a blue tint to them and the warm white are more like the incandescent. If I would have know that before I bought the icicle lights I would have looked for the warm.

Sometimes the manufacture will put the color of the light one the package. Sometimes you have to search the package pretty well to find though. The color will be in a Kelvin (K) number such as 2700K or 6500K. The lower the number, the warmer the color. The higher the number, the more blue it will look. 2700K is about what an incandescent bulb is.

I bought some c7 size colored led lights last year. Very dim and wifey did not like them. This year we bought white led's. Not only dim but had a blue/gray color. Took them back to the store and got colored mini lights. Now momma's happy (which make's me happy) and they look good.
