Rather than adopting a single color, the LIFX Candle Color bulb supports multiple colors at once thanks to Polychrome technology. One section of the bulb can become pink, while the other is blue. When degraded with the right shades of yellow and orange, it can give the appearance of a real candle.

Bottom line
The LIFX Candle Color bulb is an excellent night light. It's not bright enough to serve as a desk lamp, but the soft light adds the warmth of a real candle to a bedroom.
