The LED strips we used in the last install we did were measured at 5300K- they were also around $120 per 5m strip (we used around 14 of them).
On difference in lighting between LED and incandescent is that incandescent warms considerably while dimming- the color temp at a 50% voltage is far different than 100%. I haven't worked with LED stage lighting, but I ASSume they do not change when dimmed. Lighting designers are having to get used to the difference.
Typically in our fixtures dimming LED modules do not change color. Color temperature at 100% is just about the same at 50% and even 5%.
Many lighting designers want LEDs to have the same effect as incandescent when dimming, going from 3000k to 1800k. We now offer LED products that are now sold as "Dim to Warm" where as the LEDs are dimmed, they get warmer to duplicate the effects of incandescent.
