    From the information supplied it is impossible to tell.
    It should state on the packaging which isn't shown online.
    The ones I used are slightly smaller, the housing isn't much bigger than the actual Led itself.
    This one is physically larger.

    I bought 1 of these yesterday, and works great so far for my 1foot. Light quality is clear

    I bought 3 of those the other day. Will install them over my shrimp tanks. Already had one like these for 1year now. Only complaint, ...the standard cable is very short. But nothing a bit of DIY can't fix.

    Strange that the front says cool white and the sides daylight...

    You are 100% correct.
    The ones I bought say 6400K Daylight on the front, back and side.
    Also the Lumen 640 is not achieved via a sticker but part of the original packaging.

    But when looking at the unit when it is on, one should be able to see the colour difference between 4000K and 6400/6500k.
