HID lighting quality?
 

what is the best HID light spectrum? I've seen 5k-12k for sale and not sure which is best. some friends have suggested that 6k is the best, but what do you think?

35W 4300K has the most visible light output.

It depends on whether you want pure white or annoying blue/purple.

that chart you posted is a lot better then some of the others I have seen. thanks.

My 35W 4300K is much brighter than my neighbor's 5000K.

4300K will ALWAYS output more light than the other comparable wattage bulb temps. All the other "temps" use a filter to adjust the light output (block/filter wavelengths) and get the desired color. Not to mention the higher up the spectrum, the harder it is on your night vision as blue light kills night vision and blinds other drivers.

mine are 10000k but are really blue, check what is legal, over here 6000k is the legal limit. people mistake me for police :P

This is the 35W 6000K kit from DDM tuning.

I LOVE the color and light output. A lot closer to pure white than that chart depicts. Only has a very small tinge of blue. They are so stinkin bright, I can't even imagine a 55w kit.

Sorry for the cell pics:

I really like my 6k it really reflects all the little creatures and signs. Very bright compared to stock

Hi guys what brand hid is best and where can I get them from in Australia thanks

Just be prepared to wait a month to get it....seriously.

long wait, but its worth it from what i hear. actually ordering mine now :D

Ya its a good 3 week wait but as long as you dont need them instantly its the best deal out there

You'll be happy with them, I have been so far. Post up pics of the condition the shipping box is in when you get 'em....I've seen some pretty rough ones and also perfect ones.

I'm looking at Innovative brand right now. Anyone have any luck with them?
