The glass is tinted blue to filter the light so the colour temperature
is nearer to that of daylight, rather than the rather 'warm' light
associated with tungsten filaments.

I'm after a wireless ethernet dimmer for under 10 quid a unit. I
suggest
you might have more luck.

Just in case these two questions are related, bear in mind that the
colour temperature gets 'warmer' as you dim filament bulbs, so a
daylight simulation bulb won't simulate daylight when it's dimmed.
