Was looking at a cheap light fixture for a t-8 bulb, and the description said the fixture has a kelvin rating of 5200. What does this mean? I thought the bulbs had the rating, not the fixtures. Does that determine which bulbs I can use?
Thanks!
 
They may just be referring to the bulb that is included with the fixture. Wattage (in watts) and Bulb Type (T-8) are the only things that are usually restricted by the fixture.
 
Ok. They didn't make it clear that a bulb was even included. That's why I was confused. Thanks.
