Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that make the G's bluer?

5000k looks more white, even though it is closer to blue. 4200/4300k is closer to yellow which make the difference seem exaggerated.

I agree with Read T

4300 is supposed to be the whitest white. Over time bulbs blue and get dimmer though

5000k is whiter than 4300k, but 4300k has more usable light according to the Kelvin scale.

Anyhow, still wondering if the G's and Z's use different bulbs?
