9300 only increases brightness by adding too much blue to the mix; by the
time you correct the colors they are no brighter than they would be at any
other color temperature. Get a proper hardware calibration system,
precalibrate to something more reasonable like 6500, and maximize your
luminance at this point by setting the weakest color channel to maximum. Then
profile in that state for the highest possible *color balanced* luminance.
