I tried 'warm' LEDs, but quickly swapped to 'cool' ones.
Not sure what the 'Tower' is. My van has semi-recessed reading lights which initially used 10W halogens. I swapped these for 2W Cool white bulbs and this proved fine. Basically you can use an LED of approx 1/5 the wattage of the halogen bulb.

My wife says she would like Warm lights!! Thank you,
I've learned to say "Yes dear", but thankfully mine agreed with the choice of 'cool' white. We found the 'warm' was a tad too mellow.
As for Lumen, you make a good point, but I had no real idea of the light output of the existing bulbs in my van. I just took a chance and the lights I bought turned out OK.

We prefer warm white too as cool white seem harsh and a bit too clinical. They might be ok for reading lights, but not for general lighting. All a matter of personal taste though, everyone is different.

I too prefer the warmer light, but have a cool white in the kitchen area. As for discussions with my wife, I just do things and she doesn't usually even notice.
