you wouldn't know that Poundland had introduced warm-white LED GU10 lamps into its range. Mainly because nothing on the packaging indicates that there is a difference between the cold white and warm white versions.
Even the text on the back has just a bit of small print alluding to the colour difference.
I bought mine accidentally while buying a generic GU10 LED lamp to hack with new LEDs. I tested it and it was warm white! (Total keeper!)
I can see a lot of people ending up with a random mix of cold and warm white lamps accidentally.

+bigclivedotcom have you done much investigation into cheap daylight balanced lamps? Could be interesting for video work?
Why can't you mix warm white and cold white???
I have no goals or ambitions in life.
But thanks to Big Clive, I want to travel to the other side of the planet, and visit POUNDLAND ! !
We have ($2 shops) here, but POUNDLAND seems like the DISNEY experience equivalent.
I don't think ordinary people care about warm or cold whites, just us nerds. 🙂
I like my light to be about 4100k, I just haven't got any GU10 lighting any more as I hated the halogen bulbs… 😛
and if you happen to be into vintage radios these things are a disaster – they radiate RF all over the place! Applies to pretty much all the LED lighting I've seen so far.
Are you from isle of man or Glasgow?? Confusing me with comments about isle of man and videos of Glasgow.
The correct terms are "blanco frío" (cold white) and "blanco cálido" (warm white); "blanco fresco" (fresh white?) is wrong… so I guess you can use it for both cold and warm lights and just skip changing the spanish part of the package.
4000K isn't exactly nice and warm, is it? It's warmer than 6500K cold white though… But warm white is usually up to around 3000K, afaik.
What's different inside for bulb life to be different?
For the same wattage the cold one should have a higher lumen rating (!??)
Aww, no teardown and comparison?
I thought warm white had a cost of being less lumens per watt, and yet these warm whites are higher than the cold white..?
