The kelvin HID colour temperature chart...

The Kelvin Colour Temperature Chart above depicts the hues / colours that can be projected by your HID system. It

provides measurements in Degrees Kelvin (K) and illustrates the different colours emitted at different levels of colour temperatures. (Note: Actual colours of the light produced by AURA HID will not be an exact match to those found in this chart. This chart serves only as a colour guide.)

Colour temperature ('K') vs brightness...

It is a common misconception that higher colour temperatures (K’s) produce brighter lights. This is not true.

The colour temperature only determines the colour but not the brightness of the HID light. The Colour Temperature is simply a scale represented by the Kelvin Temperature Chart (hence the abbreviation “K” or “K’s”) as decpited above that measures the colour of the light output. Typically, the higher the colour temperature, the closer you get to achieving bluish to purplish light colours.

AURA colours...

While AURA is renowned for its provision of the full range of Colour Temperatures (from 4000K up to 12000K), AURA strongly recommends the use of 6000K HID systems since the light emitted at this 'K' is the closest you get to achieving daylight colour.
