More information on HID’s
The temperature rating (kelvins) on the HID does not indicate how much light is available (lumens) but indicates what color your light will be. (approximate numbers)
Temperature color light output
• 3000 kelvins yellow light 1500-2000
• 5000 k White light 3200 lumens ~ daylight
• 6000k bluish white 2800 lumens
• 8000k bluish purple 2500 lumens
• 100000k purple 2100 lumens
4100K lamps are approx 20% brighter (measured in Lumens not degrees K) than the 6000K
As you see the higher the kelvins, the less amount of usable light.
I’m picking up a 6000k set for my wife’s car before I get a set for the bike.
