I think that it's worth noting that one of the big problems with the color temperature scale is that it 6000K in one light is not the same as 6000K in another light. After all, daylight is around 6000K. (100 CRI light sources should be the same at a given temperature, mind you.)
6000K xenons produce a shit ton of blue because xenons are kind of shitty light sources. Hell, it looks like the Phillips 85122 - a OE level 4300K xenon bulb is 65 CRI.
