The user can change the color temperature of an incandescent bulb by dimming it.

The manufacturer makes long-life incandescents by changing the filament slightly so it doesn't burn as hot. That gives a yellower light, and the filament lasts longer. And the bulb is less efficient (fewer lumens per watt).
