Let's say I had two kits in my hands for the same lights, a new 8000k and an old 12000k. Let's assume that both kits are of cheaper quality, and the 12000k has faded. Would the 12000k now be brighter than the 8000 because of the change in color, or would it still be less bright?

Too many projects, too little time...

Haha totally saw the 'cool story bro' coming. =P

Well, the thing is, the 12,000k's I mentioned are hella faded, to the point that they are actually whiter than the 8,000k's now. So would they still be about as bright as they were when they had more color? Or would they be brighter?

put one on each side and do a side by side comparison but i think the 8000k would be brighter cause as color faded on 12k id assume so did some of the light output

current set-up:

mids: front: mb quart reference 6.5s rear: pioneer TSA941 6x9

Time for a new kit? When a bulb loses it color thats a sign of poor quality and a short life span.

If you need a new pair of bulbs pm me I have a tone of new ones in stock

the higher the kelvin rating does not mean its brighter

the ballasts are what makes a bulb brighter 35w or 55w

Wrong, and right.

Yes, the higher the wattage, the brighter. However, kelvin does also contribute to how much usable light is made.

The brightest kelvin is usually the closest to white you can get. Once you start adding in color you sacrifice brightness for color.

Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks'
