what's the difference between the soft white 3000 and the soft white 2700?? also, which (temperature) is best to lite an oil painting?

3000 should be a tad whiter than 2700. I don't really visit painting museum to know what kind of lighting they use inside. If they use bright white light (as close as daylight) inside to show all details, then you will want 5000k bright white or true white color.

For oil paintings, you should go with the lowest color temp. For LED, that would be 2700K. It has a little more of a yellow tint than the 3000K. The higher the color spectrum gets to sunlight, it will cause damage. I like that the LED also keeps heat away from the artwork.

Excusez moi !!! Un "Thomas Kincaid". I have two LED picture lights over my contemporary collection. Mostly oil. I find that I can leave the light on several hours at a time. It is easy on the canvass, does not heat up in addition to create a lovely atmosphere at night. Am thinking of purchasing one more. I have not tried it on glass framed aquarelle but it should work as well with a no glare glass or whatever they use these days. Absolutely love it and entirely satisfied with my purchase. Am pretty sure you will too. PS Initially I thought that it was heavy and that the batteries would be difficult to change, but not at all.The ability to adjust the hight is also a good feature.

Suzanne, I bought A NuWave Pic. I opted for the higher end unit. I split my order with my son. He has used his extensively and is very impressed with it. I broke mine in on fried chicken. I've never had oil temperature control like this before. Good luck with your decision.

At 3000K, this bulb is closer to pure white light than 2700K bulbs, but it still maintains a warm appearance. Anything above 3500K will start to appear slightly blue. At 4500K, you will definitely notice a more blue hue.

The bulb is physically smaller, is all. They will both produce the same number of lumens, given the wattage is the same. They are good for smaller enclosed fixtures. The color temperature of the minitwists is 2700 degrees K. Sylvania offered 3000 K bulbs when I wrote the review, but now most of the Sylvanias are 2700 degrees. 3000 degrees produces a better white; the 2700 degree bulbs are a little more towards yellow. One of the best features of the Sylvania is their circuit. Some brands will flicker if your light switch is illuminated, but Sylvania bulbs don't flicker. If you want a whiter white, (but not towards blue, like a 4100 degree light), see if you can find some 3000 degree CFL's. I put away a good stock of these Sylvanias when they were being phased out.

Yes, This is the model which has a warm white color with temp Approx 3000K. Thanks

Bulb has an internal fan that (I'm guessing) is necessary to dissipate the heat generated by the very bright LED(s). If you put the bulb in a completely enclosed fixture there wouldn't be any place for the heat to go. I think it's a terrific bulb for all other uses and the 3000K color temperature is just the right amount of white light without being as "yellow" as a 2700K bulb. If you're sitting next to the bulb in a quiet room you can hear the whir of the fan, but it usually just blends into the room's usual background noise.

I have a airbrush compressor that is 1/5 HP oil-less and quite quiet. It will overheat after like an hour or so, but works great, just make sure if you get a small compressor that you do NOT get one without a tank on it. It should look like 2 tanks on top of each other. If you get one without a air tank on the bottom you will get inconsistent air pressure as well as overheat it pretty quick. Mine is a silver motor on top of a black tank and is pretty small has a moisture trap and air hose. Also this airbrush is probably not going to be best suited for you if you are going to be painting miniatures. The needle is large which allows quite a bit of paint to come out making it very difficult to paint small details. I would recommend the badger renegade krome. The patriot seems to work well with putting out a lot of paint. I use my patriot for laying down kandy colors over a larger surface than a miniature. The krome will produce hair size lines, or like inch size lines, with the 105 patriot you will likely not get any finer of a line than a skinny marker would give you.

I'm thinking that the 2700K and the 3500K is the lighting level of the bulb in Lumens. The 3500K is a brighter light than the 2700K. You might Google "Lumens." I'm thinking that it shouldn't make much difference in the operation of the bulb as to generating heat, but not sure of this. I put in a brighter bulb in my house and haven't had any problems with it. I put in the larger number because that was the only one available. Incidentally, heat will degenerate the fixture if it is made of plastic so stick with the 55watts if you can.

Winterfrost is slightly duller, as in frost on a windowpane, or the difference between plain white paper vs. bright white paper. "Pure White" is a more 'white' white. They still go well together, so no real problem, kinda like a one-color scheme room of various whites.

The 4000k is the cool white, and the 3000k is the warm white. Both are available to be purchased in the listing, you will see a button there you can choose between the warm and cool white depending on which one you want.

I see this has already been answered. I love this light. I am an oil paint artist and this light is like painting outdoors.

2700 is a bit more warmer than 3000. I'd choose 2700 for living room. 2700 is color temperature for the incandescent lamp. You should be more looking into the wattage rather than color if you want it more brighter. I have 8 of those on my kitchen and it pretty bright.So it depends on what sqft is your living room and will 7 be enough.

The 24 set has more colors. It includes all the colors that are in the 12 color set and more. These are actually great and at a great price. If you are new to oil pastels, I think you'll enjoy them. If you already have the 12 color set, you will get more of the same colors in the 24 but they are the ones that will be used up the fastest. Go for the 24. You'll be glad you did.

The 2700K and 3500K are the color temperature ratings. A lower color temperature will look more red while a higher color temperature will look more blue. Natural light is around 5000K.

Since this is listed as the same color temperature as their "warm white" version of the product, I'm not sure how trustworthy this number is. But users report the actual color as a white color. For reference, the higher the number the warmer the color: 3000k is typical halogen, 2700k is traditional incandescent bulb. 4000 would be white.

Those are the Kelvin Ratings. The 6000k is usually the most popular. The higher you go in the Kelvin Rating, you get more color in the light in exchange for visibility. So 6000k will be just slightly brighter than 8000k and 8000k will be slightly brighter than 10000k and so on but they will have more and more color to them. Its completely up to your preference on which one you choose. Hope that helps.
