4x4van,
Glad you are happy with your LED lights.
However!
Don't want to burst your bubble but you might want to google and learn: 4100K cool white
Hundreds of charts on the web alone giving light color as expressed in K (Kelvin scale light temparture)
Cool white is 4100K not 5500K. 5500K has a slight bluish white cast and 6500K is quite bluish light. Direct effective sunlight in the Earth's atmosphere is about 5780K and above the Earth's atmosphere is about 5900K.
Look it up and learn!
4100K is the light tubular flourescent bulbs T-12, T-8, and T-5 for instance give for general commercial office and work place lighting.
Color corrected lighting/coatings are used for indoors lighting where glare and eye straining light is not desirable for longer time periods of esposure when relaxing etc. 4100K is used for work/commercial lighting where relaxing is not desirable or wanted.
2700K has a yellowish-orange cast light and generally used for bedrooms and living rooms etc creating a warm pleasant light atmosphere. 3000K has less of an orange cast and closer to white with a slight tinge of a yellow cast and preferred for rooms/areas where reading and relaxing are done but still white enough for easy reading without causing excessive eye strain or headaches. 4100K is too stark of a white for a relaxing area and why it's used in offices and work areas. 5000K - 5500K is close to daylight bright white light as in being outdoors in direct sunlight and why it's labled "Daylight". Over 5000K lighting causes unprotected naked eye strain and squinting in most humans and why many do or must wear light dimming/filtering protection such as "sunglasses" and is the very reason sunglasses were even invented/developed.
