ILFORD Multigrade and E27 Off-The-Shelf (OTS) LED Bulbs

The LED lamps can also offer longer life and cooler operation.
 
I was desperate a few years ago. My Beseler colour head cashed in its chips. I salvaged the mixing chamber and mounted a 3K LED pot light including diffuser on top of the mix chamber, just a stop gap to continue split grade printing. Well years on I just cannot seem to find the time to make my temporary solution permanent. I cannot expect the LED light to match a tungsten lamp with a set of Ilford variable contrast filters. But all I do is split grade so I do not worry about that. The magenta filter exposure needs to be two stops longer, not one as is the case with a tungsten lamps.
 
What is a 3K LED "pot light"? I think the 3K refers to the color temp.

By 3K LED light I mean an LED pot light with an advertised correlated colour temperature of 3000 degrees Kelvin.
