If you have a bulb that gives off a wavelength of 20K and a bulb that gives off 10K you don't average them.
They would both continue to give off their individual wavelengh but you would have both wavelenghts hitting your tank. So the 20K would reach further down. I have a very small LED light in my fuge and spoke with the builder and he said they give off about 6500 K for the white ones. But...they are the smaller LED's not the good(expensive) Solaris size ones. He suggested red ones for my fuge but the all white are working fine at the moment.
You actually made me read about them before.
In any case Sam has it on his tank maybe he can answer it.
Just my two cents let me know if I am wrong.

All I know is that I like them on 1/2 the tank. I would not like them on 100% of the tank though. Not sure about what Kelvin it is though.

I just brought my Day Whites from 100 down to 80 to bring out more blue. I have to see how my clam does w/ it...
