Wondering why so many un-friendly ppl in this G forum. Just sitting there waiting to flame on others when they just asking for help.

No way it can be brighter. Measuring with your eyes is deceptive, people see blue and think its brighter because of the constrast but it isn't. The correct way to measure light output is with a light meter which will give you output in lumens, and its already a FACT that ALL 10000k bulbs put out significantly less lumens than even a 6000k bulb, given that the ballasts and voltages applied are the same

OMG! this thread has totally got off of topic! where are the HUMAN PEOPLE!!?!?! lmao. well anywho the dude that question about how the 06... if dipping (like maxima) have that flickering effect??? well thats a good question!! i would like to know. but i notice mine have that effect but a very slight one.
back me up fellas!
where are all the ***** fu*ing pictures?!?!?

ACTUALLY.....higher kelvin equals more light. HOWEVER, your eyes can only see a set range of light spectrum. So unless you are an alien, you can only see in the range of the visible light spectrum, so anything above the 4100K spectrum, you can't really see any more light with your human eyes, and just notice difference in colors.

i suggest reading up about luminosity function and visible spectrum. Both of which are functions of the ability of the human eye. As in they will both be different values if our eyes were to be able to perceive past the current average of 400nm to 700nm.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_spectrum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity_function
PS. I should rephrase when I said more kelvin equals more light, that is wrong on the bases of scales, technically if you are an insect you perceive infrared the best, and it has no color temperature in human perception means. There is however a correlation between kelvin and light that our eyes can't perceive and can't be ignored for the sake of argument.
"An ideal thermal radiator produces visible light most efficiently at temperatures around 6300 Celsius (6600 Kelvin or 11,500 degrees Fahrenheit). Even at this high temperature, a lot of the radiation is either infrared or ultraviolet, and the theoretical luminous efficiency is 95 lumens per watt.
Of course, nothing known to any humans is solid and usable as a light bulb filament at temperatures anywhere close to this. The surface of the sun is not quite that hot."
