So I just spent a full day, (almost), mounting and wiring a set of surface mount halos from Oracle lighting. Super excited to see them on at night. To my surprise, when I turned them on they were blue! Of course I thought they had shipped me the wrong product, so I called and then started an email chain with one of their representatives. She had me send photos of the halos on, (see below), to see what the problem was. After I sent photos of my blue halos, this was the response,
"White LEDs start their life as blue. During the manufacturing process, a yellow film is applied over this blue LED to offset the color into white. The light or darkness of the yellow film determines the amount of “warmth” (Yellow) or “Coolness” (Blue) of the LED. ORACLE Lighting uses a lighter yellow film to provide a cooler white which meets 6000K temperature rating on all white LED products."
Which I'm sure is absolutely true, unfortunately the halos Oracle sells land in the 12,000K to 20,000K range according to Oracle's very own chart.... in other words blue!
My last email from them was, "Thank you for the additional photos. I can assure you that these are our white halos. I apologize if this is not the white you were initially interested in, but this is our standard white halos that we offer to all customers." Yea, the white I was interested in was white. Check out the photos below and see for yourself, my favorite being Oracle's "white" halos next to my driving lights which are, you guessed it, white Oracle LEDs! Also check out the color of the light spill on my bumper.
caveat emptor!
