I would also love to know any differances from 3500K vs 4000k.
3000k vs 3500k vs 4000k. A top bin 3000K will have similar efficiency to a top bin 3500K. 4000K is slightly less cool or less white than a 5000K light. A variable might be the best option for you.
At 5000K you will only be seeing the cool white color temperature in the light. If the spectrum is well balanced 3500k all day. For you to improve flowering and fruiting you need to use the 3500K to 4500K range for the best.
Lighting temperature typically comes between 2000K to 10000K. Main thing I noticed was slower veg cycle. 2700k 3000k 3500k and 4000k.
4000K is an often overlooked color temperature as it falls right in between warm white 2700K3000K and daylight white 5000K6500K color options. Both spectrums work awesome on their own but the mix has worked best for me. The higher K chips are actually a bit more efficient because they contain more blue and less red but the difference isnt as much as the lumen bins might suggest its more like a couple percent.
Which one should you use for the kitchen. Soft White 2700K 3000K Bright WhiteCool White 3500K 4100K and Daylight 5000K 6500K. Long story short.
Generally warm light is anything 3000K or lower while cool light is 4000K or above. Many say you cant flower with 4000k been there done it. There is a very slight difference between 2700K and 3000K but 3000K is ideal for active areas like the kitchen bathroom hallways laundry home office living room etc.
