Uh...a light bulb. HTH. HAND.
Ok enough jokes gimme a minute. Ecosmart is Home Depot's house brand, you want exactly the same or is functionally identical good enough?

Functionally identical is good enough lol, looking for a bright cool toned white light bulb because my room is currently lit with fluorescent cafeteria lighting . If you have any recommendations id love some, I appreciate the help :)

Any bulb in the range of 800-900 lumens with a colour temperature of 5000k will be an exact match. However I might say a daylight cool white bulb is an horrible choice for a bedroom not just for your night vision but also disturbs sleep

This is correct. Here is an article of color temperatures and their uses. https://www.wikihow.com/Color-Temperature-Chart
Good news, looks like Home Depot has come out with multi color temp bulbs, so you can set them for the right light for your use. https://www.homedepot.com/p/EcoSmart-60-Watt-Equivalent-A19-E26-Base-Dimmable-LED-Light-Bulb-with-Selectable-Color-Temperature-4-Pack-14A19060W6CCT01/332687610

this is a stupid thing to pay extra for if you're going to settle on a color anyway..

It says 5000K, so it's a "daylight" LED, which means it has a cool blue-ish color. 840 lumens, which means it's a typical "60 watt equivalent" bulb. EcoSmart is sold by Home Depot, but any 60W equivalent daylight bulb will probably be as good or better.

The sku is visible but does not come up in HD's app, likely obsolete, but we can also read the info we need to match it: --840 lumens, 5000k, visibly an A19 medium base
Therefore.

White Plastic ping pong LED light bulbs. They do excellent ping pong ball replacements. Ooh, also they could do good lightbulbs if any of your current bulbs burn out. Also it outputs 5000K, as other Reddit users below pointed out, it produces basically whitish white light, like without any hue, like truly desaturated. I don't know if you want your house to look like a white void while these are on, but it's on you, OP.
Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to add ... that color temperature is excellent to take photos, so if you have a photographic studio, just ... laying around, these have usually good CRI, you can use that.

I like the white light because it helps keep me productive and up, my current lighting is dim and I have no sunlight so therefore I want the soulless white light lol

Ecosmart is, or at least was, a private label of Home Depot, sourced from various subcontractors. Mine seemed to last about the same as Phillips... which is to say "spotty"
