4300 or 4700 "kilowatts" ROFL. They're called Kelvin, light temperature measurements.

as a side note, it's not the color temp that provides you with enough info for good light output. If you can find the amount lumens that the S HIDs are, that will give you a better idea of how much light is getting put on the ground.

That is true. A higher bulb temperature would have a lower light output in lumens.
