Default question for hak....

alright, oem HID manufacturers seem to think that 4300k is the color of daylight, why is the ISF, NTSC, and ATSC standard for white 6500k?

Purple:
28000 Northern sky


I put in bold just some of the different kelvin ratings "daylight" can be. There is no set rating that it stays at in other words. The sun also does not emit "pure white" light. It would be filtered out.

Your talking about TV "native white" which on most TVs is 6500k. Television lumininance kelvin is not relative to the terms of useable output for your vehicle so don't compare the two.

Apples to oranges.

4100-4300k emits the most useable light and best mimicks sunlight, which is not "pure white" by any means. It is probably what would be 10:00 a.m. on a clear sunny day.

As you can see below, the 4100k-4300k bulb is going to have far more lumen (lm) than 6000k+. Notice this perticular 4200k bulb puts out a awesome 3400lm as its a 85122+. These generally put out 200 more lumen over the traditional 85122...



This is a data sheet for the Philips Ultionon 6000k bulb (5800K Nom.). As you can see, output performance dropped considerably for the worse. It only performs with 2400 lumen. Big loss in performance....



To show even more just how bad the performance and useable output deplinishes as you go up in kelvin, let me show you this data sheet for a GE 10000k bulb. HORRIBLE useable output performance of a measley 1850 lumens. And that rating is with the bulb brand new, at its BEST performance peak LOL. What will really get some laughing is that 1850 lumen is just a hair over what a high performance 55w halogen bulb produces . Talk about wasting your money on HID LOL....
