All but one light bulbs are warm

Feels like a hint in a game level. The bright light indicates the path forward; Maybe there is a secret nearby.

Time to get the shovel

Don't forget to cut down any nearby bushes and smash anything resembling a porcelain pot to see what's inside.

This reminds me of the temperature of lights that my backyard neighbors have. Everyone is entitled to their own preferences when it comes to light bulb temperature... until they do it wrong.

Some kinds of lights turn "warmer" the longer they burn, so maybe this one was just recently swapped and is actually from the same box as the others

This one is too different, definitely a different LED

The spectrum difference indicates that the cold bulb has been changed out for an LED model. The others most likely will be changed out as well as they fail.

LEDs can be warm. Someone just selected a mismatched bulb.

Not compared to other bulbs.

LEDs can literally be red how much warmer than that do you want?

Leds can be pretty much any color we want. You are not providing helpful input.

So you admit that your first post was pointless then

OMFG you are stupid. I am done with your dumb ass. Go fucking find a YouTube video on fucking light bulbs you god damn idiot.

A simple web search finds a bunch of screw-in bulbs using LED sources in 1800K, which is similar to an incandescent bulb on a dimmer at a low setting, or a candle. A typical incandescent at full brightness is 2700K. Daytime sunlight is 5000-5700K.

i can all but guarantee these kinds of fixtures have never used incandescent bulbs and are not even designed to handle the heat from them.

You are correct. The yellow bulbs are most likely sodium bulbs. You would not use an incandescent bulb in that fixture.

All of them are pretty new LEDs. It’s built in 2021

Thant's mildly disappointing, more than infuriating... Unless you have anger issues of course
