yeah. good thing you pointed that out!
so going by that link in the above post, i can asume that the lower the K value, the better the visibility?
so that would make the golden yellow the most visible? or the crystal white( since its white lol) ?
thanks.

4300k is typically ideal. This provides the most useful light output that you can see.
