some will argue either way for particular reasons or argue for both at the same time.

i use 5000k with both my overheads and my LEDs because it's the closest to sunlight and it colors the surface the least. i can't stand 6500.

I sent one to the Car Care companies
The answer is as follows
there are several different slight sources necessary to get the “right Light”.

For scratches and to see the real color of a car, we use ceiling mounted daylight lamps with 6500K which is a quite cold blue light with a light strength of 3000 Lux minimum on the car, better would be 4000 or even 5000.
Lamps are typically defined by color temperature in Kelvin and luminous flux in Lumen (not Lux), because the light intensity depends on the distance from the light source to the illuminated object. A good light specialist takes into consideration where the lamps should be located best and then calculates the amount and strength of the lamps to get a certain illumination.
It makes no sense to name you our lamp supplier, you better ask a local specialist with the given specs above.

For the indication of holograms you either use LED-laps or special hologram lamps. Normally these are not mounted, but mobile. We use Typ 150-1 from Starlight Lichtanlagen Huber, which is used at BMW in Dingolfing , but there are other choices as well.
