reveal® technology. As our best quality of light, reveal® HD+ filters out dulling yellow light to give you incredible color contrast and whiter whites for exceptional clarity. It's perfect for your kitchen, bathroom, or any other space where clarity matters most.

What makes GE bulbs “Reveal” is that they contain neodymium. It's what gives many of the bulbs a blueish tint to the glass. What neodymium does is filter our dull yellow rays of standard soft white light. This produces a crisp, white light.

The main difference is color temperature. Daylight bulbs measure between 5,000K and 6,000K, meaning they produce light that is perceived as bright white. Soft white bulbs measure between 2,700K and 3,000K, casting a warm, yellowish glow.

What color temperature is right for me? Understanding Kelvin temperature (K) makes it easier to choose lighting that gives you the look and feel you want. At the lower end of the scale, from 2000K to 3000K, the light produced is called “warm white” and ranges from orange to yellow-white in appearance.

Still, with all-around acceptable specs and with prices on regular, A-shaped bulbs starting at $8 for a two-pack, GE's lineup of HD Light LEDs are a decent enough value to warrant consideration, especially given what they can do for the color quality in your home.

GE A19 Reveal LED light bulbs high-definition bulbs are an improved, energy-saving LED that enhance the appearance of colors. Experience the difference with the bolder colors and enhanced contrast vs. standard GE LED bulbs.

GE explains that its Relax, Refresh, and Reveal bulbs “have a higher CRI, or Color Rendering Index, than standard LED bulbs. Which means they deliver greater color contrast and boldness than an average light bulb.”

Soft white light bulbs have a warm color temperature and fall within 2,700K and 3,000K on the Kelvin scale. Contrastly, daylight light bulbs have a cooler color temperature and fall between 5000K and 6000K on the Kelvin scale.

Although most designers recommend using soft white light for general ambiance, different tasks or rooms can benefit from having bright white or daylight bulbs installed. Bright white bulbs often work better in bathrooms or kitchens, especially when chrome fixtures are present.

2200K is an extremely warm white. In fact, 2200K is the lowest point in the white light scale. Anything lower than this would be considered yellow light. 2700K provides a warm incandescent feel.

Kelvin The definition of Kelvin is “the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature, equal in magnitude to the degree Celsius.” Scientific jargon aside, Kelvin is used in lighting to measure the color temperature of a light bulb. In short, the higher the Kelvin rating (expressed in K), the whiter the light will be.

That's a question many consumers ask themselves when shopping for new kitchen or laundry appliances. While GE is one of the most trusted brands in the appliance industry, its higher-end Profile line can be pricey.
