Default warm vs soft

Quick question on warm and soft. I just got my shipment of bulbs in and as I was checking my order I noticed that they are labeled soft white at 2700k. I checked my original order and it shows that I ordered 2700k warm white. Do I need to worry about this or is it ok, I am not so concerned that it says warm or soft, but more so that they are 2700k which they are. Can I keep these or should I send them back and get the warm. The part number I ordered for the warm white was M2802327 and they shipped S2802327. Does anyone see an issue with this?

I have an 8 bulb setup and I am planning on using 4 2700k and 4 5000k bulbs simultaneously.

Soft white usually corresponds to 5000k-6000k which I believe is the spectrum you want for flowering. Daylight bulbs give you the Veg spectrum.

Ok people, this is not answering my question. I understand the K ratings, thats not the issue.

Let me try it again.
1) I placed an order for warm white 2700k

2) I received soft white 2700k

3) Is there any difference between warm and soft in this situation. Should I send the soft whites back and get the warm, like I originally ordered? Or will the soft whites be ok?

Warm and Soft are simply la men's terms for the true color spectrum of the bulb. So long as the kelvin rating on your bulbs is the one you're looking for, you're good to go. Your plants aren't going to go on grow strike because of a confusion in nomenclature,

Yep, just pay attention to the kelvin rating and forget the soft white, cool white, warm light crap.
