Cool white is a dumb choice: daylight color temperature, useless at nighttime when these are relevant

Its still light, not at all useless just because it is a 'daylight color.. at nighttime' unless you failed elementary science. If anything cool is a lot more useful to see in pitch black than warm

Let me put it another way: 5600K lights at nighttime have a trashy, slummy, trailer park look to them. City street lights are not 5600K; if not amber for energy savings (already outdated), municipal lights are at 3200K. Especially true for mounted lanterns on residences...again, unless you live in...

There is an actual explanation I think you're learning how to communicate, could do without the arrogance too but maybe one day you'll learn to not be a douche

These are safety lights with a motion sensor, not accent lighting for your patio to demand 3000~3600K color temps for coziness...safety lights are often daylight color balanced.

Also, "amber" colored lights are typically HPS (high pressure sodium) and have been phased out, mainly due to the very low CRI that cheap HPS lighting had. Only cinematographer who were filming on downtown areas and liked the "noir" effect a CRI of 20% complained as LED started taking over (3K typically, outside of freeways)

You entirely prove my point: these are primarily being marketed as always-on lights (for patios and otherwise) with enough power-collecting ability to last until sun-up. Motion detection raises the luminance temporarily in the primary mode, but color temperature matters full-time.
