Don't go with 10k too blue. And the light output isn't that great. Get something like 8k or 6k. I'd go with 6k.

I have 6k but I think they're a little too bright for other orad users. Due to the light scatter in the std housing. I'd go 5k.

the higher the "K" the lower the light output. You lose output to color

Light is yellow, or white. Any other color across the spectrum means that you have LESS light, and more refractants. In other words your going to be paying someone money to decrease your visibility.

I wouldnt buy from any company that puts an "expert recommended" sticker on a 10k bulb.

4300k will be the best light output, and 6000 is as high as you should go if you want some color in the beam.

All this K talk is reminding me I need some HIDS.

I must stop browsing this website.

I'd go with 6000K. I had them and actually ordered 2 pairs from xenondepot.

But if its honestly between 5000k and 10000K, go with 5000K.

And I agree something is a bit off when that company is recommending 10000K over 5000.

4300K-6K The most IMO. Here ya go... These are projectors so the color may be off a lil bit for reflectors.
