yeah, i guess the labels are subjective.. use the numbers to find what you need though, as they are sound.
6500k applies to the blue spectrum which is great for veg.
2700K applies to the red spectrum, ideal for flowering.
if the box doesn't supply this information i wouldn't buy the product, but if you've got no other choice buy one of each and plug them in... the 2700k gives off a very orange light, similar to an HPS bulb (people all over here have got pics of their room with the HPS on, its what gives it the orange/yellow tinge)
the 6500k gives off a very blue light, the difference is incredibly noticeable when you've got both ignited side by side. it never hurts to give some bue during flower either, but is not necessary.
