Blackbody value should be represented as 6.4K instead of 6400.

I've never seen color temperature with SI prefixes. No one is using it in this way.
There is only two example of usage of it in google that I've found. ( One is wikipedia for some reason, and other is question asking why no one is using it.
But the temperature is expressed in Kelvins, and the temperature of a lamp would be in the thousands magnitude, 6.4k would be too cold, 6400K would be correct
I don't think I have ever seen someone expressing Kelvin temperature in kilos or any other factor, but if you had to use a factor prefix , the kilo symbol is a lowercase
kwhile Kelvin's uppercaseKso it would be written6.4 kK. Not the most visually digestible, IMHO.
