Gold luxe: what the sources say
- ENERGY STAR describes the phosphor that covers some LEDs as a yellowish material.1
- ENERGY STAR lists amber among common LED colors, alongside red, green and blue.2
- ENERGY STAR says LED “lifetime” is established on a prediction of when the light output decreases by 30 percent.3
- ENERGY STAR says incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat.4
Verdict. Looks expensive on pale or stone fronts with clean trim, but it reads as dingy yellow beside any white strand and punishes you if the first box is not the true champagne shade.
