4" LED bulb to match Cree from Home Depot?

10 years ago

I absolutely love the new Cree A19 and BR30 light bulbs sold at Home Depot. I used them in my 5" cans for a kitchen remodel. However, they don't have a PAR30 bulb yet for my 4" cans. Does anyone know of a 4" LED bulb in another brand that will match the look of the Cree bulbs? I am using the warm white 2700K bulbs. Thanks!

Thanks david, but I had read that some people were unhappy with the bluish color to these. I though maybe they would look different than the new 5" BR30 that I love. Maybe I will buy one and give it a try.

I have limited experience with the CR4, but it was in no way blue. I expect that the internals are similar to the CR6. I have about 48 of those -- no blue in sight. Maybe when dimmed to ~10% (near stumbling around in the dark) they can go a bit blue, but not much in my experience.
