Where can you purchase light bulbs that project a bluish color? I see a few houses with this style now, rather than white or amber-white colors. Who makes them? Are they available as LEDs?
Why would you want bluish colored lighting? Exterior lighting is supposed to look warm and inviting, not cold and institutional.
Blue-white are more fitting to my house theme and neighborhood, modern Salt Box architecture with New England colors, plus the street lamps are white. Amber-white just gives too much of an old lady look imho, no offense to old ladies and their houses. I'm a younger man and would like something fitting with the theme of the neighborhood.
The big box home stores usually have excellent displays of outdoor lights, where you can compare the various hues.
We took in a board with a paint sample of our house trim when choosing ours.
It's the daylight LEDs or CFLs. It looks nice if you get your neighbors on board with the idea, so you don't have a row of houses with dingy yellow lights and then your house with the nice, crisp blue/white. Also, if your bulbs are the brightest, you get more bugs than everyone else.
