xx.000k Definition

Sorry, i come up with this question. What is this xx.000k
represents? It would be light intensity? If yes i know that the intensity is mesured in 'lux'.
Can someone explain this to me pls.

That is refering to the colour spectrum of a given light bulb, for example 10,000k, 14,000k etc etc..

The "K" is refering to the "Kelvin" of the bulb. Some examples are...

10k - A more yellow type of light emitted
14k - A more whitish light emitted
20K - A more bluer light is emitted..

The most popular bulb to use i think is the 14k as it gives a nice white light and also a little ammount of blue aswell..

Hope this helps

Niko

Thanks Niko for bringing me home. Is right, "the color temperature measurd in Kelvin degree...".
Thanks again

Also, the higher the Kelvin rating, the less intense they are when compared to lower K rated bulbs of the same wattage. PAR ratings are lower on higher K bulbs.
