Indeed it is.
After 6000k the lumens reduce dramatically the further up the colour temperature scale you go. The difference between 4300k to 6000k is negligible but once you get past about 6100k the reduction in Lumens increases exponentially. I imagine 9000k would be producing probably less lumens than standard halogen bulbs, effectively making your HID's pure rice and not just half rice :lol:
Are you positive that you have 9000k?

Thats what I was getting at but I didn't want to accuse our new member of anything.

5000k is pure white, 6000k is a slight tinge of blue.

If your globes are pure white I don't think they're 9000k...which is lucky for you :)
