ok idiot... is that the best you came up with? did you call your friend and have him go over my posts to help find some minor punctuation error? thank god it was only punctuation and not grammatical. i understand though MAYBE is a hard word to spell... the best thing that i can suggest for you to do on this point is to delete your log in and cancel your membership to my350 and go join a 3rd grade english proliferation forum and stop wasting our time with your poor writing skills. wtf are you ESL or something?
btw... it would have sounded best as million $

brings me to the next simple assumption... im guessing everyone participating in this thread has researched the kelvin spectrum and wavelengths correct? apparently you just might have a point. i'll be back after i properly educate myself

personally i have a 05 light assembly with 8,000k for my normal running lights and 20,000k for my high beams (yes i converted my highs to HID hope you got your shades on )

That's not true. Well, the 10k's being brighter is, but the '20k project deeper through the water' is not. In fact, water itself is transparent. However blue wavelengths are shorter and thus scatter easier off the water molecules; this gives the appearance of the water being blue, particularly over longer distances. This is why in saltwater aquariums lower rated kelvin bulbs such as the 10k you mentioned have higher PAR ratings; the light penetrates farther. Having 20k bulbs is purely a matter of preference; corals tend to grow better with the lower K bulbs, but the blue spectrum (particularly around 450 nm) make the corals "pop" or "glow"... but you should already know that, right?
This actually happens in air as well, and is why 'blue' lights are not good for headlights; they light scatters easier off the air. This means they don't penetrate as far and bounce off further objects to you, since the actual light is scattering more. FYI, the sun's K rating is approximately 5800K and is yellow/white -ish in color.
