I purchased soft white bulb from Lowes, but they emit Yellow light. How to purchase bulb with white lights? What do I need to check?
There are many shades of "white" light. You need to look at a color temperature table and determine what shade of "white" you want. Most bulbs today indicate the color temperature on the packaging.
The higher the temperature, the more "blue" the light. The lower the temperature, the more "red" (yellow/orange) the light. You are probably wanting something more blue (higher temperature).
why it is common in America to use yellow bulb instead of white one?
I am assuming you mean "more yellow" than say a yellow bug light.
2300K-2600K color temperature closely mimics the older style incandescent bulbs. I don't have a LED in my house over 3000K except the garage overhead bulb and prefer the warm glow over stark white.
