Of course, purely from a physics standpoint, since wavelengths are higher energy as one moves up through the spectrum from infrared, red, orange, green blue, violet, UV, X-ray, gamma ray, the bulbs with higher color temps are technically hotter than redder bulbs. Which has nothing to do, of course with the heat emitted by the bulb, which is a whole diff matter.  ;-)

Thanks for the report. Nice to know.

Incidentally, in photography the terms "warm" and "cool" are also used 
in the same sense as employed in your description. "Warming" filters are 
yellow and "cooling" filters are blue.
