I agree. Anything more than 6000k is worthless.

I'm sure if you do a search, you can find multiple threads explaining why those 8000k+ bulbs aren't good.

6000k is prbably the best light output.. Someone has posted charts and pics of the 6, and 8k light outputs.. I beleive the 8k and higher are to bluish and they loose light output..

The best combo of light output and color temp is 6000k. You could also go with a 5000k, good medium between 4300k-6000k.

Not the best pic but...
