Colour temperature - 4000K neutral white. As the ambient light drops below 10 lux (dusk), the bulb will automatically switch on. As the ambient reaches 15 lux (dawn), the bulb will automatically switch off. The operation of the sensor will be affected by other sources of light within 1.5m, such as street lighting. The sensor bulbs should not be installed in light fittings positioned within a 1.5m distance of each other as this will affect the operation of the bulbs. The light bulb will only operate in darkness which will conserve the life throughout daylight hours. Please Note - We have recently rebranded from MiniSun to ValueLights. Our packaging has updated however our bulbs have not changed and still remain the same great quality.
