Warm white is 830

When you buy bulb check the number, usually is like 820 (or was it 827), than 840 (845), than 865 (or 860). x20 is yellow like incandescent bulb, x65 is like conventional T8 light, x40 in between.

Off topic a bit... Do you guys use warm light or white light for your downlights? Or half-half?

Sorry to say, it doesn't work for me. The  featured wall, not so bad. But the yellow wall very difficult to 'match' with your furniture.
If i were you, i re-paint the yellow wall with timeless white color.
Btw, this is my personal preference ya.  smile.gif

My L box light is on the yellowish, while the downlight is in between. 840
