i know that we covered this already but i was looking on line and 8000 are the brightest in a reflector housing and the 6000 are the brightest on a projector so i going to go with the 8000
Why are you going with those? The 000k is the color not the brightness. The higher the color temp, the cooler the color. The lower, the warmer the color (yellow-orange-red). Sunlight is like 5,100k at noon. And according to someone on here, you lose some light at higher color temps (really blue, purple). I'm guessing cause more of the light is going into the part of the spectrum that we can't see. I'm guessing it also happens at lower color temps. Anyway, this is probably what they'll look like at 8000k:

that is the same picture that i saw the 4 different colors in and the blue seemed the brighter than the 6000 to me. i have seen 8ks on an eclipse and the are blindingly bright. And there are alot of deer here and the blue light makes their eyes red so you can see them.
