get ready to get hi-beamed with 6,000K though.
Blue light is passable and has less lumens. That basically means there will be less light output.
6,000K on the other hand has more white and a tint of blue. Your eyes will love blue more and you will notice it from a great distance, however, there will be more glare because you have more lumens.
However, if you go down the kelvin temperature, you won't notice much a subtle white or yellowish color because your eyes will catch more "blue" tuff out there on the road rather than yellow or subtle white.
Intense white/blue/purple on the other hand is a no-no but of course, the less intensity, the less your eyes will be bothered by them.
