I have a par 38 LED floodlight that is 5300k from Home Depot. I just use an aluminum clamp light fixture for it.

Works fine.

I'll see if I can find a link on the web.

I'm still using a 16w (65w equivalent) Phillips 6500k fluorescent and a simple socket, hanging over my fuge

Packaging doesn't say so, but the bulbs are stamped 6500k
