Here are what those Kelvin (K) temperatures pan out to in real world lighting.....

* 1600 K: sunrise and sunset
* 1800 K: a candle
* 2800 K: tungsten lamp (ordinary household bulb)
* 3200 K: studio lamps, photofloods,
* 5000 K: A designation of D50 stands for "Daylight 5000K" and is the most common standard for professional light booths for photography, graphic arts, and other purposes.
* 5200 K: bright midday sun.
* 5500 K: average daylight, electronic flash.
* 6000 K: lightly overcast sky
* 6500 K: heavily overcast sky
* 8000 K: hazy sky
* 20000 K: deep blue clear sky


Hope this helps...
