i'm hesitating between the 2700k and the 3000k color, which one should I buy? (it's for a living room and i need to buy 7 so I want a good lighting)

That is a personal decision. There is not going to be a huge difference between the two. The higher the k, the cooler and more pure white the light. The lower k gives a warmer more relaxed quality and may be better for the living room. Personally, i use a warmer lower k light in the living room than the kitchen which is more of a work space.

You should not notice much of a difference between 2700 and 3000K. Both are kinda in that early yellow/morning light range. A regular incan light bulb is 3K. If it is a large area I think that you should likely go with the 3K. I have 2 of those on a dimmer used as uplights in a theater room and they are fairly bright when turned all the way up.

The lights actually work well with the dimmer. They will dim and brighten though the entire spectrum. But, when on the dimmest setting the lights will "creep" back up to about half brightness and then stop. I had blamed it on the dimmer switch that I got from HD. But it may be the lights themselves. That issue may be a problem inherent to LED lights (at least the current generation of them). I have not seen any other reviewers with this issue so it may just be the dimmer (or the installer) LOL. Even so, I'm thinking the pros out weigh the cons (economical, long lasting , bright and easy of install (I really like handy little spring clips that secure it to the ceiling =) ). Hope this helps.

My personal thought would be to go with the "whiter" 3000k. If you put a dimmer on the switch, it really won't be an issue as the brightness will be adjustable.

2700 is a bit more warmer than 3000. I'd choose 2700 for living room. 2700 is color temperature for the incandescent lamp. You should be more looking into the wattage rather than color if you want it more brighter. I have 8 of those on my kitchen and it pretty bright.So it depends on what sqft is your living room and will 7 be enough.

Thanks. I'm still struggling with the decision. I saw a review on CNET for the Vizio with full array backlighting with local dimming and the review said that there were still clouding issues. So, I guess I may as well keep this set if I'm not going to get a plasma.

The 4000k is the cool white, and the 3000k is the warm white. Both are available to be purchased in the listing, you will see a button there you can choose between the warm and cool white depending on which one you want.

You can select a 2700K bulb for this fixture when you check out. Although I haven't used this particular light for that purpose, I'm sure the 2700K bulb would do great for the growth and flowering stages.

I've had the TT-AL09 120w for over a year now that has just the blues and whites. I agree with GCO and definitely look at a full spectrum fixture if you will have light hungry corals. I hope TaoTronics considers building a full spectrum light again.

3000 should be a tad whiter than 2700. I don't really visit painting museum to know what kind of lighting they use inside. If they use bright white light (as close as daylight) inside to show all details, then you will want 5000k bright white or true white color.

The 2700k is pleasant light which looks very similar in appearance to a normal human Edison bulb.The 5000k is a very white harsh light like an old-fashioned fluorescent bulb.I bought some of each and returned the 5000k bulbs. I like bright white light but it was too much. Like the inside of a freeway tunnel.

at http://genet.gelighting.com/LightProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=COMMERCIALSPECPAGE&PR;ODUCTCODE=21739 , it shows that it's 2700K, which is a yellowish color. Mine only worked for a short time, and I remembered it as being more white, but I guess not.

I don't really know I have mixed feelings on it being 7xx brighter. make sure you have good sun to light to fixture!

I had the same issues when I bought my lights... It's just a combination of colors it seems, I still love em'. If you want a true white one, you might have to fork out for dedicated light.

The 6000k are the brightest but the whitest light to avoid the color distraction, to avoid flicker I would recommend using a relay with the lights as I found that provides the best power to the hids and blinding other people, I have always heard to never use the hids with stock housings but I did and I very rarely get high beamed from passing drivers... hope that helps

Agree with blissin....these are the stock 4300k. Please beware of higher output bulbs manufactured in China, I've heard of many buyers blowing out not only the bulb, but also the control module (which is around $700).

I will, and like I said previously, the pcture quality is very much improved over the 55C7000, the "pin point dimming" is what makes this set an improvement. I will keep this up to date once I receive mine. Thanks.

the matte and glossy finish is not an issue. And my 71F is in a room that gets tons of light. I'm not sure what some people are talking about when they warn about the finish. It only adds the beauty of the set. Go for it!

Just a reminder Sunny.. I'm speaking about the VP2365-LED", not the 27"..You'd have to look up the specs on that model..Once more, I'm super happy with my 23" model..You can't go wrong with that one..You would pay 2-3x more for a monitor to top this for editing IMHO..Good Luck! Eddie (PAHTSPIX)

if money was no object....i would buy the elite....its bigger (70 inch i believe)....its the only LED ive seen to best a plasma, BUT with a price of almost 8 g's id def rather have the VT, and definitely if the VT beats last years model. so basically the elite is nicer, BUT id rather spend more money on the vt and get a bad ass surround sound :)

The plasma is better is every aspect. The only reason you would go with LED would be to save a couple bucks on energy costs.
