Lumens describe brightness, Kelvin describes color temp (whiteness/blueness)

Default here's the scoop....

lumens, is the unit of measurement used to measure the effective "brightness" of the lights. In most states, 3200 is that max allowable. The "k" most people are referring to is the kelvins, or temperature, at which the gas burns. Higher kelvin values tend to produce that blueish purple look that you get from Xenons, while lower values produce a more traditional "white" light...


word. bling on.
