This is correct. 43k has the highest light output. it is white with a hint of yellow. 5000k is probably a good compromise if you want whiter look without losing

This is correct. 43k has the highest light output. it is white with a hint of yellow. 5000k is probably a good compromise if you want whiter look without losing too much usable light. Anything above 6000k will lose quite a bit of lighting comparing to the stock.
