COLOR OUTPUT

We love bulbs like this that output low amounts of blue light unlikely to interfere with  your circadian sleep rhythm.  Upon measurement we find low levels of blue light and a smooth spectral power distribution with sufficient power across the entire color range to not discolor nearby objects.  The color distribution favors the 560-660nm range giving it a soft yellow look.
