Are Edison-style LED bulbs as warm as real filament bulbs?
Reviewer consensus
Most ST38 and S14 LED strands in this category are rated 2200K–2700K, which mainstream retailer reviewers describe as a warm amber glow close to traditional filament bulbs. Reviewers on Amazon and Walmart consistently call out 2200K strands as noticeably more amber/orange, while 2700K reads closer to a standard soft-white incandescent. If you want a true 'cafe' look, 2200K–2500K is the consensus sweet spot.
