Roger,
And just to add to what was already said by many, when
spoken, we say "five thousand Kelvin", and not "five
thousand degrees Kelvin", to match the fact that we dont
use the little wiggle after the unit as in the Fahrenheit
notation.
And let's not confuse the "K" and "k", the capital K is
1024 (and basically used only for computer memory
quantities) while the lower case k is 1000. So we could
(but should not!) say 5 kK to be correct and really
confuse everybody.

Lastly, if I say "5000K", do I mean 5000 KELVIN or am I
REALLY saying
5,000,000?? Would it be more proper (and shorter) to
simply write
5KK??? This has been bugging me....all morning.
It's 5,000 degrees on the Kelvin scale. This is quite
hot. I personally seen
CCT presented as 5000K in all the color and lighting
litterature I've read
so far so I tend to stick with that terminology.
