Light Bulbs - Wattage vs Kelvin Temperature



Okay I am very confused about light bulbs.  I don't understand all these statistics. There are Xenon, Halogen, HID.
There is 55/65 watts, 80/100 watts, 100/120watts.  Some even claim to put out 80/120 while only consuming 55/65watts.  Now there is Kelvin temperature 4000K, 5200K and 6000K.   Euro Dezign claims to have the brightest 6000K Krypton Xenon bulbs but they only are 55/65 watts.  They only cost $25.00 for the pair.  How do tese compare to the expensi ve PIAA's?  I heard good reports from Sylvania's new XtremeWhite.  Ahhhhh who am I to believe?  Help me !
