actually no.. it would be 20k as the K stands for Kilo which is equal to a 1000. this means when you say 20000k youre actually saying 20,000,000.

actually i believe he is right. in the case of hids the "k" stands for kelvin, which is a measurement of the temperature/color of the bulb. so a 20000k bulb is 20000 kelvin. look here. |

Kalvin doesn't measure light.... Kalvin is a measurement of temperature. 20,000K means the bulb heats to 19,727*C, and at that temperature the gas inside the bulb(Xenon?) gives off a blue light that doesn't do much good other than for blinding people(your eyes aren't very good at picking up reflected blue light, but direct blue light is very harsh).

The bulb will be a certain color at a given temperature yes, I was just being nit-picky by saying that kalvin isn't a measure of light.

like the rest of us with HIDs have.  |
