    Nope not those. The ajustable ones have a colour temp of 10000K if you adjust it to thr lowest K rating(whitest) i want lower K ratings than 10000k. Also they are damn expensive those ones. They are the kessil 350W ones.

    Also using 4 because the kessils cast hard shaddows so its a way to spread the light for the plants that wil be in shadows. But like i said want lower k ratings

    Cool me too as I find the 6700 a little too yellow, are you cool with the yellow? Maybe a t5 or two will help balance it more
