Good morning,
Our standard 'Category P' (minor streetlight i.e. residential areas) lights are 3000K which result in a soft white/warm white.
Our 'Category V' (arterial roads i.e. highways, high thoroughfare roads) lights are 4000K which result in a cool white.
I hope this answers your question.
Any issues or concerns please don't hesitate to ask.
