4300k should be the brightest and a pure white. After that you start getting more color and less lumens. So more color and less brightness.

haha ya i know that... no offense lol

but i meant bright and white and not blind people...

i have the Sylvania Silverstars and they are pretty awesome, i'd try those first as they are only about $40. i do think they take time to heat up? or it may be they are kinda dim while its twilight'ish.
