    This is total personal preference. do you like the more blue appearance or crisp white?

    The lower the K the more white the bulb will appear.

    In all reality the lower the k the YELLOWER the bulb, but I follow you crimson. 10,000k is supposedly a WHITE bulb but they tend to have some yellow in there esp depending on the brand. Olwer than 10,000k will be even more noticably yellow.

    Happy choosing!
