Will 6000K still look whiter than 4300K or 5000K? I'd like to have the brightness of daylight at night. Thanks all.

I have no experience with 4300K or 5000K, but I can say these 6000K bulbs are very white. I can't imagine anything that would be more like daylight.

I have been using mine for 9 months outside in hot and cold weather with no problems. If you haven't noticed, they have three different color temps for the bulbs, make sure they ship your preference. I have the White 6000K and the Warm White 3100K. The 6000K is noticeably brighter, but the light is bluish, similar to the color you might see in a car headlight.

Anything between 5000K and 6000K is considered "daylight." I embroider, tat, crochet, etc. For me, this is important because "daylight" bulbs (remember when Ottlights were the only game in town?) give you more accurate colors and make it easier to see what you are doing. I have this 5000K bulb in a positionable task light to my left (I'm right-handed) and in my general table lamp on my right. OMG, it's wonderful. The amount of light is fantastic, and I need my Mag-Eyes less than I used to. The fact that it fits in a normal socket makes it ideal to me.

I use the XLEDIA - X60N - A19 - 9.4 Watt - 60 Watt Equivalent - 850 Lumens - Color Temp: 5000k. Since LEDs don't put out much heat I wouldn't think going to a higher watt equivalent would be an issue. I have very high ceilings so I wanted something bright like daylight so I went with the 5000k color temp and meets my needs but certainly not a soft white!

While still "warm white," they are slightly cooler than the traditional incandescent bulbs. I would estimate about 3000K vs. the usual 2700K. However they are not in the "daylight" category (6000K). You might notice a slight difference if you mixed bulb types.

There is very little difference in the spectrum between 660 and 630 nm so you will not be able to notice a color difference. We're very happy with these lights!

6000k is white with a hint of blue, 8000k is more blue. The higher the kelvin the darker the color and the less brighter the light. A lot of the brightness also has to do with the quality of the ballast as well as the headlight design.

The lights are at 3200k which is warmer than daylight. Set your color balance for the shoot and all should be fine. Should you have a mixed daylight plus these lights and feel there is too much yellow to your liking, simply pull out some yellow in edit. I am satisfied with these lights.

My understanding is the 4300k is OEM white and the 5000k is OEM also but with a blue tinge. Not sure which is for sale here but would like to know also.

You don't wanna use the factory settings anyway. Set them as you want. My settings are. Blues on for 12hrs a day at 80% and whites on for 5 hrs at 20% with the moon lights on for an hr before and afterwards

Yes, the color of light provided by this bulb is "white" which at 5000k is also referred to as "daylight."

Not really sure how to answer this as I only know that everything is a whiter white instead of the duller orange or grey white of the conventional lights. Everything is clearer and more defined. Properly aimed, you will love this light. In an area with a high number of reflective road signs, I actually get too much reflection if using high beams and have to go back to Low beams.

It's not "pure white" like 4500K, looks like "cool white" that means about 5500K. But looks good specially for some places where you want a bright light instead a non color change light. The pure white version of 5050 LED is difficult to find and is only useful if you want to see colors as a sunlight. The cool white have about 5% to 15% more blue into light spectrum.I have both and honestly, is hard to see the difference if you don't put near enough one from the other.

It's not a matter of brightness. Both emit the same # of lumens. It's a function of the light spectrum they emit. So it's really an aesthetics question. Some people don't care for "white" that's in the 5,000K range and prefer the "warm" or yellowish light emitted at 3500K.

It's white 6000k has a bluish hue to it. These are a bright white they won't match HID lights.

Depends on the car I believe... My car has two sets of bulbs, one is low the other high. Since I added the Opt7 low beams, I have not been in a situation where I have needed my high beams at all, they are that good. I believe they do have High beam replacement though if you felt they were needed. Just stick the the 5000k which is the pure white... If you go higher or lower, you will get a lot of reflection when it snows or rains.

Anything over 5000k will start to decrease in brightness, especially in rain/fog/snow. My 5000k's cut right through all of it
