Cold white or warm white for Pool LED light

[henningdalgaard]

Hello folks

I am putting in new LED lights in my pool with white liner. I used to have multicolor but after a while i always just went for the white light option, so my new lights are gonna be just white - but I need to decide between warm white and cold white.

usually I would go for warm white in the house but I wonder if the cold white is okay in the water? Cold white has more lumens and might light up better in the water.

what is your experience?

from what I could find on google, the water acts like a filter and turns the warm white bluish anyway, and it seems I would get more illumination from a cold white because it travels better in the water, and because I get more lumens from the cold white bulb
