Warm white or white in color - or a mix. Check all the offers.
10 for $4.41 + $1.10 shipping
50 for $9.51 + $1.10 shipping
These work great for low level room lighting using a powerbank of any size. A 5 amp power bank should run this 8 - 10 hours. A bigger "solar generator" such as the FlashFish 200 should be able to power one for a couple of days - maybe more.
Put one on a powerbank, put it on top of the fridge with the light pointed up and you have light that lets you walk through the kitchen without tripping over anything.

I'd been up more than 24 hours at that point so no surprise that I forgot the link - it was in one of the multi-page ads that runs forever. Sorry about that... I'll see if I saved the link somewhere else. It was still in the browser's history: www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805727683875.html |

Thanks for the link!
I understand the "been up more than 24 hours at that point" situation. Did that about a week ago, again. Took me three days to recover fully.
Got six hours sleep last night. Got home from taking my wife out to her favorite restaurant this afternoon. Sat down at the computer and ate dessert. Next thing I knew I was waking up two hours later. No warning, just instantly asleep.
It seems like on those rare occasions that I get comfortable in my chair I tend to fall asleep with little to no warning.
BTW, heck of a deal on the lights.

I did my testing after midnight. With no other light in the kitchen and the LED module plugged into a small powerbank atop the fridge, it provides adequate light for walking through - you'll want better light for cooking or washing dishes ;-) but it's OK for a nightlight for a fair sized area. Beats using a light that needs much more power and lots of folks may have a powerbank or two sitting idle. If the ceiling were whiter - my usual choice of Behr Ultra Pure White Ceiling Paint and not what the previous owner used - it would be even brighter (kitchen and dining room are the last two rooms on my "strip wallpaper and paint" list and I'm not able to do that right now).
