Question 1

Is the output color of this bulb "white" (as in a tubelight), or blueish-white/white with a blueish tinge?

Accepted Answer

It is a natural sunlight, bluish white.    I use one over the kitchen sink. Even after dark, when this light is on, it looks like morning sun coming through the window.

Not yellow at all or fake looking like "warm" lights or incandescent.
Although baffling, many people prefer a yellowish tint.   
Hope this helps you.

Question 2

Is it safe to use this in a bathroom above a vanity mirror? The shower does generate steam and the bathroom is therefore a damp area.

Accepted Answer

I'm using several of these in a strip above my vanity.   LED  lights do NOT produce the heat that other types of lights do. I would think this makes them the safest type of bathroom light.   Bathroom plants are happier under LED lights too. Plants can stretch right up and wrap themselves on the lights without getting the burns florescent lights cause.

Hope this helps :)
