I recently put some in my kitchen ceiling fixtures and it's like you're in some kind of laboratory. The light is harsh and really, really blue.
I'm sure they were two different brands so I'll have to pay closer attention to what I'm buying.

Incandescent bulbs, which is what we are all used to come in one flavor,
2700k. That gives the yellowish light we are used to.
LED/CFL bulbs you need to look at the package to see what you're buying. Warm White (2700k), Bright white (4000k) and daylight (6000k).
In general, the higher the number, the whiter the light.
