Why is the Kelvin for HPS 2000 and MH 4200 as opposed to 2700 and 6500 for CFL ? At least if you purchase any of the light systems. Those are the bulbs that's provided.
Kelvin rating for MH/HPS different than CFL

Some thing to do on how the bulbs are made like HPS/MH the lamps work by creating an electric arc through vaporized sodium metal, other materials and gases are used to help start the lamp or control its colour.
CFL work differently but kelvin ratio has some thing to do with the coating phosphor on the inside of tubes.
