Question:

A couple of years ago I replaced one of the overhead fixtures with a double led fixture. We hate the light because of the bulb temperature. It is probably around 4200K and has that nasty blue light that everyone hates. I am looking for a fixture that comes with bulbs that are warmer in temperature - maybe around 3200K. I was looking at your fixtures but do not see the light temperature of the bulbs listed? Is it there and I did not see it? Is there any way to know?

For some lights we have the kelvin data but not all. To get the warmth you are looking for you will want to switch from LED to an incandescent assembly such as # RVIL22. LED lights tend to be too bright in some cases, like what you are experiencing, whereas with incandescent there is more of that soft glow. Not to mention that most of the LED assemblies have LEDs that cannot be replaced. With an incandescent light you won't have that issue and if the bulb needs to be cooler or warmer in color then you could swap the bulb out.
