Color temperatures for LEDs are standardized vis-a-vis the Kelvin scale. layman terms: 2700K is the color of a standard incandescent (yellow). 3000K is white. Geek terms:
Color Temp |
Example of source |
1900K |
Candle light or sunlight at sunrise or sunset |
2000K - 2700K |
Often used as accent lighting to blend in with fluorescent 2700K applications. |
3000K - 3200K |
Used as a primary light source for retail applications. |
3700K |
Coated lamps. Used where a "softer" metal halide light source is desired. |
4000K |
Used in general lighting; factories: parking lots, warehouses |
5000K - 5500K |
Daylight lamps: horticulture, aquariums, high color definition. |
5600K |
Nominal sunlight (mid day during mid summer) |
6000K |

That is really educational. Lumen is how bright and temp is how white then. I see most bulbs are 3000k now that I know to look for that. 2700k would be softer then.

5K is my personal preference. Home Depot has a display in the lighting department that you can use to compare. Unfortunately, they don't sell anything 12v.

My wife likes the softer, I like the bright white LED. That considered I bet I will have softer light in there. Not that I am not the boss! Well, maybe I am not.
