Question:

None of your lights list color temperature, therefore no idea if I should purchase.

We display color temperature when that data is supplied to us from the manufacturer. We do not have a way to test for it here so we go with what we've got. Optronics did provide the lumen output which is a measure of light output in all directions. Light # ILL39CB has an effective lumen output of 390 lumen.

There isn't a lumen to Kelvin conversion formula because they measure different things. If you are looking for a measure of brightness then lumen is what you need. If you want to know the color temperature then Kelvin is what you need. In this case instead of a number for color temperature they just call it white light. I would say it is nearing 5000K but probably lower.
